Xiaoyu Liang, originally from China, took part in one of the traditional White Nights. Around 6:40 p.m., Bromont Police were called to the scene. A snowboarder in his 20’s had just fallen into a piece of equipment.
“For all we know, it would be a snow cannon,” says Sergeant Amélie Vincelette. It will really be the investigation that will uncover it.

Despite the rescuers’ efforts, Mr. Liang lost his life. He lived in the Montreal area and had permanent resident status in Canada.
