UPDATE: 2 people killed in Banff rockslide, including 70-year-old woman

(UPDATE: June 20 at 11:04 am): Another person has been confirmed dead after a rockslide in Banff National Park on Thursday.

Parks Canada and the RCMP said in a joint statement the victim was found this morning.

It did not identify the second victim, but did explain that the first victim, who was found on Thursday, was a 70-year-old woman who lived in Calgary.

Search and rescue operations resumed at 6:30 am today, according to the statement.

The three people that were injured in the rockslide are in a stable condition.

Nobody else has been reported missing, the RCMP and Parks Canada added, and no further unidentified vehicles have been found at the trailhead at Bow Lake, which is near to where the slide occurred at Bow Glacier Falls.

"Parks Canada and RCMP extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the two individuals who lost their lives, our hearts are with them," the statement reads. "Our thoughts also remain with those in hospital, and we hope for their full recovery."

Parks Canada will continue its work today with help from a geotechnical engineer from Canada Task Force One (CAN-TF1 Vancouver), the organization said, as well as staff from Canada Task Force Two (CAN-TF2 Calgary) and Calgary Police Service.

It added that Bow Lake and the trail to Bow Hut have reopened, though Bow Glacier Falls is still shut. A no-fly zone also remains in place over the area.
