The BC Coroners Service has confirmed a woman in Port Moody has died after a tree fell on her home following a strong windstorm early Thursday morning.

The woman has been identified as 57-year-old Jill Calder.

The home is in the area of Alpine Place and Noons Creek.

The large hemlock tree sits in a ravine behind the home and it fell and crashed through the roof, with about the top 30 feet then crashing into the yard.

Port Moody Police says the tree caused extreme damage to the upper floor of the residence. Calder was on the upper floor of the residence and was struck by the tree as it fell.

Port Moody Fire Rescue worked feverishly to locate and uncover her, but unfortunately she had succumbed to her injuries.

Mayor of Port Moody, Mike Clay, said he can’t imagine what the family is going through.

“From what I understand it, this happened a little after 6:30 [a.m.] where unfortunately the lady was in bed, I don’t know if she was asleep but she was in bed, and the tree went right through their bedroom,” he said.

The cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody both expressed their sympathies to the Calder family.

Clay said the area has some trees around it, but it is not a heavily forested area. He said, as far as he knows, they haven’t had any trees cause concern in this area.

“If there’s a way we can help [this family], we’ll find a way,” added Clay. “For now, it’s just keeping them in our prayers I guess.”

The city says if any residents are concerned about the trees in their neighbourhood, they can call the City’s Operations Division at 604-469-4574 to arrange an inspection of trees on City lands.
