Inquiry Into Death Of Twins On Olympic Bobsled Track Hears From Track Manager

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Apr, 2018 12:01 PM
    CALGARY — The manager of the track where teenage twins died during an after-hours bobsled run at Canada Olympic Park says he was not previously aware of any unauthorized access while he's been in charge. 
     
     
    Tyler Seitz appeared before a fatality inquiry into the deaths of Evan and Jordan Caldwell in February of 2016.
     
     
    Seitz said he was familiar with the track — one of two in Canada — as he twice competed in luge in the Olympics and worked at Canada Olympic Park for six years.
     
     
    He says he heard rumours of people sneaking in at night, but he had no direct knowledge of it.
     
     
    Seitz says as manager, he would not have tolerated staff doing such a thing.
     
     
    The inquiry is scheduled to visit Canada Olympic Park later Tuesday afternoon.
