    • RCMP identify second victim of Banff rockfall as man, 33, from Surrey, B.C.

    The second person killed in a rockfall last week in Banff National Park  has been identified as a 33-year-old man from Surrey, B.C. 

    RCMP did not provide a name and say no more information will be provided.

    Two people were killed and three more injured when a slab of mountain gave way last Thursday, raining rock down on hikers at Bow Glacier Falls.

    The three injured were later listed in stable condition.

    The second deceased person has previously been identified as 70-year-old Jutta Hinrichs, a retired university professor from Calgary.

    Parks Canada has closed the area around the falls, and say tests show the rock slide was the result of geological forces common in mountain areas.

    Experts tend to focus on the kinds of foods you can eat to improve your health. But the speed at which you devour your dinner matters just as much. There are risks with eating too fast — think stuck food and the potential to overeat before your brain tells you to stop. (Inhaling your food also risks annoying your slower-paced dining companions or the person who took the time to cook your meal.)
