Jutta Hinrichs Obituary, Death;- 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. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2025.
