A 59-year-old man from Spiritwood is dead after a boating accident on Little Shell Lake.
Just after 6 a.m. Tuesday, Spiritwood RCMP received a call about a man who had gone missing while boating on the lake, which is located about 100 kilometres west of Prince Albert.
The Mounties were told the man and a family member had been out on Little Shell Lake the previous evening when their boat overturned. Both men attempted to swim to safety, but the 59-year-old didn’t make it to shore.
The RCMP said the family member “walked all night through the bush to return to their campsite to call for help.”
On Tuesday morning, officers from the Spiritwood and Blaine Lake detachments and members of the Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services searched the lake and the shoreline. The man’s body was found in the water at about 9 a.m.
