2nd body recovered after malfunction stranded Sandy Bay First Nation boaters on Lake Manitoba
A Sandy Bay First Nation man who was missing for almost a week after his boat got into trouble on Lake Manitoba has been found dead. Manitoba RCMP said two men, age 22 and 41, launched a boat from behind the water plant in the First Nation, which is about 130 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, on May 8. Their boat suffered a malfunction but because of high winds, the local fire department could not launch its own boat to assist, RCMP previously said. Authorities found the body of the 22-year-old man on May 9, after it washed up on the shore. The body of the 41-year-old man was recovered from the lake on Wednesday, RCMP said in a news release Thursday. The boaters were last seen roughly 200 metres from shore southeast of Halls Beach, roughly 10 kilometres away from the water plant, on May 8. Neither was wearing a life-jacket at the time. Central Plains RCMP said they are still investigating.
