MARYSTOWN, N.L. - A 15-year-old boy is dead following a bizarre and tragic all-terrain vehicle accident in Newfoundland.
The RCMP said the boy was riding the machine Monday morning with a blanket tied around his neck like a cape when it became entangled in the rear axle.
The blanket tightened around the boy's neck and he was pulled off the ATV.
The accident occurred near Golden Bay Sands Resort in Marystown.
An emergency room nurse who happened upon the scene performed CPR on the boy until paramedics arrived.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
