AccidentOfficials are investigating after a man died attempting a stunt while riding his BMX bike along the Vancouver seawall on Sunday evening.
The man was travelling along the walkway near Canada Place when he left the pavement and fell into the water below around 8:30 p.m.
“Yesterday evening a tragic accident occurred after an individual appeared to be attempting a bike stunt jumped off the third level of the seawall adjacent to the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre into the water,” read a statement from the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, which manages the floatplane docks below at sea level.
“The Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre is co-operating with police.”
The B.C. Coroner’s Service confirmed it is investigating the death of a man in his 30s. Vancouver police declined to comment and no further details were immediately available.

GovermentThe P.E.I. government is going to help families left waiting for their loved ones to be buried. The attorney general said Thursday that 32 burials at the Floral Hills Cemetery near Fredericton will be arranged by his department.
Ballem said the owners of the cemetery don’t want to be in the business anymore. He said the province could appoint a board of directors, but his government isn’t interested in running a cemetary.
Instead the government will help with a short term solution.
“We have permission from the company. They give us access to the site to ensure that we are able to have the burials completed. We don’t have it in writing yet but their legal counsel in Newfoundland tells us that that is not a problem. We are in the process now of trying to arrange someone to manage the facility for us, to hire the staff over the next couple of months in order to get it ready for the spring clean-up, arrange for the graves to be opened and closed.”
Ballem said he’s not sure what the temporary burial business will cost taxpayers. However, he said there’s also some money being held in trust for the burials.
