Early  Monday evening,  Nelson House RCMP received a report of a boating incident at the Notigi Boat Launch, just outside Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation,.

When officers arrived on scene, a 30-year-old man was injured and a 40-year-old man was deceased.

The two men from NCN were the only occupants of the boat.

Investigation determined that the 30-year-old man was driving when the boat struck debris in the water.

This caused the boat to suddenly veer off course and eject the other man. The driver was able to get him back into the boat and to shore, but he succumbed to his injuries.

No charges are being contemplated.
