Yes, he unfortunately did pass away and his autopsy has been completed. Some test results are pending, so his cause of death is not absolutely conclusive yet, but will likely be shortly.

There was also a fatality in Marathon, Ontario that we will try to get factual information about.
Looks like he was on the Niagara II, not the Grotto.
