Winnipeg man, 20, drowns after slipping at Pinawa Dam Provincial Park

A 20-year-old Winnipeg man is dead after slipping off some rocks at the Pinawa Dam Provincial Park and drowning.

Lac du Bonnet RCMP say the man was seen climbing rocks near the top of a small waterfall at around 8 p.m. on Sunday when he slipped on some wet rocks and fell into the water.

Police and fire personnel searched the shoreline for the missing man, but were unsuccessful in locating him.

On Monday afternoon, Lac du Bonnet RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems and Manitoba Conservation, the search continued, and they were eventually able to recover the body of the victim.
