Erika Lamb, 16, was transported to Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital with lifethreatening injuries after an unknown incident at the Collingwood-area resort. The OPP's Collingwood detachment con rmed Wednesday afternoon the teen had died in hospital as result of her injuries. Lamb was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, police said. A resident of Burlington, Lamb was a student at Oakville's King's Christian Collegiate. Lamb was also a member of the Milton Heights Racing Club and was at the Collingwood-area ski resort for the Gooch Cup, hosted by the Toronto Ski Club. Alpine Ontario said Lamb was free skiing, not racing, at the time she was injured. "On behalf of the Alpine Ontario community, we send our most sincere condolences to the Lamb family and the Milton Heights Racing Club," said Alpine Ontario spokesperson Andrea Russell. The accident occurred on a run at the north end of Blue Mountain used by the Toronto club. -- with les from the Collingwood Connection The death of a 31-year-old homeless man, found dead in a snowbank in Oakville early on Sunday afternoon, is not considered suspicious, Halton police say. Investigators said the man had resided in the "Oakville area for the past few years but was transient in nature." The unidenti ed man was discovered face down by a passerby in an industrial plaza parking lot on Wyecroft Road, east of Fourth Line. The gruesome discovery was made at around 12:30 p.m. After closing the immediate vicinity as a crime scene, police investigators con rmed later the same day that no foul place was suspected. Police spokesperson Sgt. Chantal Corner said Wednesday the results of the post-mortem came back as "not suspicious, and pending toxicology." It's expected investigators will reach out to the Salvation Army Halton Lighthouse shelter, which is in that area, to determine if the man was known there. The man's name will not be released, said Corner.
