A 19-year-old Toronto woman has died from her injuries, a day after she was attacked by two coyotes in Cape Breton.
The woman was hiking alone in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia on Tuesday afternoon when the animals attacked her.
Emergency officials received a call at around 3:15 p.m. about a hiker being mauled on the popular Skyline Trail. Nearby hikers apparently heard the woman's cries and called 911.
RCMP Sgt. Brigdit Leger said police rushed to help the woman and had to shoot a coyote that was being aggressive. The second coyote fled into the woods.
The woman was taken to hospital in Sydney, N.S., and was later airlifted to a Halifax-area hospital. However, she died overnight after sustaining "serious injuries," according to RCMP.
Her name has not been released.
RCMP have closed off the hiking trail until they can track down the other animal.
