Vienna -
Austria's state broadcaster says a snowboarder suffocated after landing head-first in deep snow.
Broadcaster ORF cites police as saying the unidentified German fell into a ravine where more than 4 meters of snow had accumulated at Tyrol's Saalbach-Hinterglem skiing region.
The ORF website said that an emergency doctor flown in by helicopter was unable to revive the 32-year-old victim on Wednesday. - Sapa-AP
