Teen dies after being struck by lightning

OTTAWA - Joel Gauthier was doing what he loved when he was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm on Friday evening. On Saturday, he passed away.

Gauthier, 18, was biking through Ottawa's Vincent Massey Park with a female friend when they stopped to put on rain gear under a tree around 7 p.m. Gauthier and the tree were hit by lightning.

He went into cardiac arrest. Paramedics treated Gauthier and rushed him to hospital in critical condition. He later succumbed to his injuries.
