On January 29, 2012, shortly after midnight, the Powerview RCMP Detachment along with local area EMS responded to a report of a male found unresponsive by a snowmobile on the Northstar snowmobile trail.
RCMP report the location of the accident was about 10 miles into the bush from Highway 59 near Belair, Manitoba.
Despite efforts by civilians who came across the victim, members, paramedics and volunteers from the local fire department, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
It appears the sole rider of the snowmobile, identified as a 34-year-old Grand Marais man, collided with a tree.
Police say that speed and alcohol have not been ruled out at the present time.
