RCMP says that a 14-year-old boy from Toronto has died after he drowned in a hot tub at a home just outside Golden on Friday afternoon.

Officials say the BC Ambulance Service was called to respond to a possible drowning just before 5:00 p.m. on Friday.

The 14-year-old victim, from Toronto, was taken to hospital where he later died.

Constable Spencer Lanchbury with the Golden-Field RCMP says the death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.

“We will continue to assist the BC Coroner’s Service with their investigation,” he said in a release.

The identity of the victim has not been released.
