The two deaths are not connected, and there is no known relationship between the two individuals who died. Information has not yet been released by sheriff's officials on what caused the deaths or the circumstances surrounding them. But a resort spokesperson told South Tahoe Now that one incident involved the death of a 33-year-old man while skiing on an intermediate trail, and another was a medical emergency involving a 58-year-old man.

Two people were killed in separate incidents Friday morning at Heavenly Lake Tahoe, the latest in a line of skiing-related deaths in the region, authorities said. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the incidents happened just before noon, but did not specify where or how they were injured. Heavenly Ski Patrol members and Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but the people were pronounced dead at the scene.
