Around 6 p.m. last Saturday, The Pas RCMP, Fire Department and EMS responded to a report of a possible drowning.
A 40 year-old man had been out on a boat fishing on Clearwater Lake with family members when he dove into the water to go swimming. The man did not resurface after diving into the water.
The man’s body was recovered around 7 pm and transported to The Pas Health Complex. Emergency personnel were unable to resuscitate him. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
Police continue to investigate.
