CBC
A 25-year-old woman died while stranded in the remote wilderness in northern Labrador earlier this week, say police.
According to the RCMP, the woman and three other people were travelling on two snowmobiles between Hopedale and Natuashish, when both machines ran out of fuel on Sunday night.
Two people left on foot, while a third person stayed with the woman on the ice overnight, about 11 kilometres outside Natuashish.
Police say that person walked to Natuashish the next morning to get help.
According to Environment Canada, overnight temperatures in that area were close to -30 C.
Rescue crews, including the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, ground search and rescue teams from Hopedale, and local searchers from Natuashish, mobilized.
The search teams found the woman's body on the ice, where RCMP officers performed CPR. The woman was unresponsive.
The two people who had left on foot were found safe in a cabin near Natuashish.
