YELLOWKNIFE – One person is dead after a helicopter crash in the Northwest Territories.
RCMP said Monday they were told around noon that an aircraft had crashed near the community of Behchoko, about 105 kilometres northwest of Yellowknife.
Police say the pilot died despite the efforts of first responders. He was the lone occupant of the aircraft, they said.
No details were provided about the pilot, the helicopter or the cause of the crash.
Nic Defalco, a spokesperson for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, said the agency was collecting information about the crash.
Defalco said the helicopter was registered to Great Slave Helicopters, a company based in Yellowknife.
Great Slave Helicopters did not immediately respond to an emailed inquiry.
