A man from Winnipeg is dead following a suspected drowning at the Pinawa Dam.
On Sunday at 8 pm, Lac du Bonnet RCMP received a report of a possible drowning at the Pinawa Dam Provincial Heritage Park. A male had been seen slipping off the rocks and into the water.
Officers attended and immediately determined that the 20-year-old male from Winnipeg, was at the top of the small waterfall at the dam, when he slipped on the wet rocks, falling into the water.
A search of the area and shoreline Sunday evening by police and fire personnel was unsuccessful.
Then, Monday afternoon, Lac du Bonnet RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems and Manitoba Conservation, attended and continued the search where they recovered the body of the victim.
Lac du Bonnet RCMP continue to investigate.
