Around 10:30 a.m., police, Marquette County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations, and the Chocolay Township Fire Department responded to Trail 417, about a mile into the township from the Alger County line.
Police were taken to the scene by several snowmobilers. Someone was already performing CPR on the 44-year-old when they arrived. Officers continued lifesaving efforts as the woman was taken to a UPHS-Marquette ambulance. She later succumbed to her injuries.
