NORTH VANCOUVER — The Grouse Grind is closed until further notice after the death of a man on the North Vancouver trail.

District of North Vancouver firefighters were called to the three-quarter point of the Grind around 10 a.m. Wednesday. Just after 10:30 a.m. they posted on social media that they had made contact with the patient and were performing CPR.

Grouse Mountain closed the entrance to the grind while first responders were on the scene.

North Vancouver RCMP confirmed a short while later that a 55-year-old man had succumbed to a heart attack on the trail.

In 2013, a 50-year-old man died of a suspected heart attack at the mid-point of the popular hiking trail. The last one before that was in 2006.
