A man has died after falling into the Columbia River in southeastern BC.

RCMP in Golden say officers responded to a report late Friday afternoon that a man riding a bike had crashed over the side of a bridge and fallen into the river.

Sergeant Betty Watson says the Mounties' search and rescue unit retrieves the 39 year old man and performed CPR, but he was later pronounced dead in hospital.

The BC Coroners Service is investigating the circumstances around the man's death, but police say criminality is not suspected.
