A 19-year-old woman has died from her injuries, a day after she was attacked by two coyotes in Cape Breton.
Reports identify the woman
as a singer-songwriter named Taylor Mitchell. She 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.The woman had been 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 acting aggressively. The second coyote fled into the woods.
RCMP have closed off the hiking trail until they can track down the other animal.
