A 38-year-old woman is dead after she slipped on some rocks into the water and was dragged by the current into a lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park during the weekend.
RCMP said in a news release that they received a report of a drowning around 12:45 p.m. on Saturday at Sturgeon Falls in the park, about 110 kilometres east of Winnipeg.
The woman slipped on the rocks and fell into the water before being pulled by a strong current into Nutamik Lake, police said.
A Manitoba conservation officer used a boat to find the woman in the lake. She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said.
RCMP said the incident is still under investigation.
