A Railway Investigation report by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada had been filed on September 3, 2006. The train had been en route from Skagway, Alaska to Log Cabin, British Columbia. As explained in the report, the train had been overweight as there were eight loaded ballast cars plus four employees.

Though he had taken an injury to the brain the biological mechanism of death was due to an airway obstruction. The oxygen deprivation and reduced blood flow to the brain because of neck pressure confirms
