The son of two-time Olympic freestyle skier John Smart has died after he was buried in an avalanche while skiing in Japan. Kai Smart, 23, succumbed to the injuries that he suffered in the natural disaster as he was left in a coma and was fighting for his life in the hospital, John said on Monday. “It is with immense sadness that we have to let you know that our kind, brave and beautiful son and brother Kai is no longer with us,” John, who represented Canada at the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics, wrote on Facebook.
