MULLAN, Idaho — The man who died at the top of Lookout Pass last week suffered a heart attack, Lookout Pass confirmed.
On March 7, the man had a heart attack while riding up the Timberwolf Chairlift, Matt Sawyer, the marketing director for Lookout Pass, said. The lift operator saw the man slumped over in the seat, thinking he had fallen asleep. Sawyer said the operator stopped the char at the unloading point and checked on the man who was not responding.
Ski Patrol immediately responded and removed the man from the seat and onto the ground, where he was given CPR and hooked up to an AED. The man was administered a shock three times and failed to respond.
We do not know the identity of the man at this time.
