The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following an ATV incident near Logan Lake on Oct. 10, 2013.

He was Richard Cameron Davis, aged 22, originally from Coal Harbour, near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, but had been studying at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt.

Mr. Davis was the passenger on a four-wheel ATV which was travelling eastbound on the Surrey Sussex Lake Road south of Highway 97D near Logan Lake in the early afternoon hours of Oct. 10. The driver apparently lost control of the ATV, and it hit a signpost at the four-km mark and then rolled down an embankment. Mr. Davis was deceased at the scene.

The Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

The family of Mr. Davis has been notified of his death. On behalf of family members, the Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time.
