Edmonton woman killed in 150 metre fall from B.C. cliff

KELOWNA, B.C. — An Edmonton woman has been identified as the person who fell to her death from a cliff while hiking in southeastern B.C.

The BC Coroners Service says 23-year-old Sarah Lamarche was hiking with a friend on Aug. 7 when she fell.

Lamarche had been working at Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta.

The coroners’ service says the woman and her friend began their hike in Alberta, but crossed into remote country in B.C.

She was dead at the scene and her body was recovered by a Waterton Search and Rescue team.
