Sugarloaf - The Maine medical examiner
says a 41-year-old Canadian man who died on the way to the hospital
after hitting a tree at the Sugarloaf ski resort succumbed to chest
injuries.
The medical examiner released David Morse's cause of death on
Wednesday.
The Nova Scotia man was skiing with his wife and two children on
Jan. 12 on an easier trail when he struck the tree.
He died in an ambulance en route to Franklin Memorial Hospital
in Farmington.
The hospital, which owns the ambulance service, launched an
internal investigation after Morse's wife complained about the
treatment he received from the ambulance crew.
A spokeswoman tells the Morning Sentinel the hospital is expected to release a statement Friday.
