"VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A man has been rescued after he spent nearly a week chained to a tree in a mountain forest near Vancouver in what police believe was a failed suicide attempt.
Hikers searching for a lost dog near the city on Canada's Pacific coast heard the 48-year-old man's calls for help late on Tuesday. They alerted police, who eventually needed a helicopter to pull the man out safety because of the difficult mountain terrain.
West Vancouver Police said the man told them he went to a remote area of the Vancouver suburb six days ago to take his own life and chained himself to the tree in the process.
His injuries were not considered life threatening."
