Pittsford Man Dies Following Ski Accident

 The Ontario County Sheriff's Office is looking for witnesses to a fatal skiing accident at Bristol Mountain on Saturday.

They say 59-year old Robert Parker of Pittsford appeared to go out of control and fell.  When Bristol Mountain staff and emergency crews reached him, Parker was in cardiac arrest. He later died at the hospital.

Investigators say they're not sure if Parker's death is the result of a fall, medication condition or a combination of the two.
