Around 6 last Saturday evening The Pas RCMP, Fire Department and EMS responded to a report of a possible drowning.  A 40 year old man had been out in a boat fishing on Clearwater Lake with family members.  The boat was about a quarter mile from shore when he dove into the water to go swimming and did not resurface.  The man’s body was recovered around 7 pm and transported to The Pas Health Complex.  Emergency personnel were unable to resuscitate him.

The man’s name will not be released.  The RCMP continue to investigate.
