Ontario man dies after falling from golf cart

A man has died of head injuries after falling off a golf cart at the Ontario resort where the G8 summit was held.

Provincial police were called Sunday afternoon — one day after the summit ended — after an employee of Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ont., fell from the back of the cart.

Police say four staff members were on the cart, two in seats and the other two hanging onto the rear where golf bags are usually placed.

The workers were shuttling carts when the one they were on did an abrupt turn and 69-year-old Gerald Lepage of Huntsville fell off.

He died Monday in a Toronto hospital.

Deerhurst hosted the G8 leaders on Friday and Saturday.
