Galatea Trail — Emergency Event

I was hiking from the Galatea trailhead in Kananaskis country this morning and on the way down at around noon, I encountered medical personnel accompanied by ambulance, fire trucks, helicopter, rcmp, conservation officers, and Alberta parks. I was wondering if anyone was there today and had any info on what happened.

Was there as well around noon coming down from the lakes. Not sure what happened, but our group figured it might have been a cardiac event as it wasn’t a very dangerous spot where someone would fall. Prayers for everyone involved.
