An 18-month-old girl is lucky to be alive thanks to a Good Samaritan who saved her after she fell from a dock and into the water near Squamish.
The child had slipped through a railing from one of the upper decks at Porteau Cove on Tuesday, RCMP said in a news release.

An unidentified man, not related to the toddler, jumped into the water and rescued her. She was then transported by air ambulance to BC Children’s Hospital where she is now listed in stable condition, police said.
Cpl. Sascha Banks said investigators are looking to speak to any witnesses who watched the incident unfold.
“We have yet to identify the man who rescued the girl from the water, but I have no doubt that he was that little girl’s guardian angel,” Banks said.
