The University of Colorado student who last week crashed into a tree while skiing at Eldora has died.
Bill Brockmueller, 26, was taken off a ventilator Monday afternoon and died shortly thereafter, according to a caringbridge.org post by Emily Crider, Brockmueller’s campus minister.
“Around 5 p.m. last night, Bill’s ventilator tube was removed and he breathed on his own until about 10:40 when he passed into glory,” Crider wrote. “While the grief is insurmountable, a hope remains in that Bill met Jesus last night and we’re certain he was received with, ‘well done, good and faithful servant.’ A man after God’s own heart, Bill lived a tremendous life and passed last night with his family at his bedside keeping vigil.”
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Brockmueller died at Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office will conduct the investigation into the official cause and manner of death.
The ski resort offered its condolences to Brockmueller’s family.
