Man dies in diving accident in Lynn Canyon

A man in his 20s died Wednesday after jumping from Twin Falls in Lynn Canyon, authorities said.

North Shore Rescue posted on social media around 6 p.m. that they were assisting firefighters and paramedics with a medical rescue operation and were asking people to avoid the area.

The RCMP confirmed the man’s death on Thursday, saying in a statement that he “was not an experienced swimmer and remained underwater for 30 minutes before rescuers were able to reach him.”
