Hey Goeran ! The Death Registration (DR) for Maxime Ignell is amongst the Native Indian (nowadays called First Nations)listings. This means he was a Status Indian of the Fort Graham Band (now called Kwadacha First Nation). BC Hydro flooded the Band's lands in 1968 creating Williston Reservoir. Fort Ware, or Ware, is located here. It is very remote even today.
Maxime Ignell/Maxine Egnell born at Ware, BC, was reported on his DR as having frozen to death on his trapline. He was 17. His Father was Mac Ignell born at Liard Post BC on the Liard River(a Hudson's Bay Company Post even further North) as was his Mother, listed here as Bessy Davy. Mac Ignell, about aged 13, accidently shot his Father, Albert Egnell, June 22,1900, and Albert died shortly thereafter. Albert, about 65, was the Factor (Chief Agent) at Liard Post.
In the BCArchives the surname comes down most often spelled Egnell and more research could be done on those people listed in the Vital Events. http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-55D7C2A/gbsearch there is also 'Engell'.
Using the Main List of Indexes: http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-55D7C2A/gbsearch at 1. you can click on 'All Events' and at 2. you can type 'Egnell' and you will find a couple of more items.
Peter Gustaf Albert Engell was born Dec. 24,1833 in what I interpret as Wreta Kloster, Linkoping, Sweden. ref. the Hudson's Bay Company archives: http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/biographical/e/egnell_albert.pdf
Using the above see if this is the case and perhaps find his lineage in Sweden. And let us know what you find.
