Man dies after possible drowning in Cote Saint-Luc
An 89-year-old man has died after reports of a drowning at an apartment building in Côte-Saint-Luc on Monday.
Urgences-santé initially told CTV News that the man was believed to be in his 60s.
"The call came in at 2:11 p.m. An ambulance was dispatched to a residence on Norwalk Street for an intervention involving a man. I can confirm that he was not transported to the hospital," said Urgences-santé spokesperson Julie Gaulin.
According to Montreal police (SPVM), officers found the man unresponsive in an indoor pool when they arrived. They immediately began resuscitation efforts until paramedics took over.
"The man may have taken ill while swimming,' said SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils.
The man was pronounced dead on the scene and the file has been transferred to the coroner's office.
