A coroner is investigating the death of a woman at a popular swimming and hiking spot in North Vancouver's Lynn Valley on Monday.

The woman's body was recovered by search and rescue crews from a creek near Twin Falls at the bottom of Lynn Valley just after 9 p.m.

The exact cause of death is unknown.

About 80 people drown each year in B.C., and Lynn Valley is well known for its popular cliff diving spots and hiking trails.
