A man died after being buried under a snow fort in Quebec’s Lanaudiere region Monday.

Police say a call came in around 3:15 p.m. for a man trapped under a mound of snow at a private residence near Lac Clair Rd. in St. Côme, about 110 km north of Montreal.

The 42-year-old was brought to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead, said SQ spokesperson Joyce Kemp.
