Lac du Bonnet RCMP are investigating after a Winnipeg man drowned in Whiteshell Provincial Park on Tuesday.
Mounties say they were called to Pine Point Rapids in the park at 4 p.m
Investigators say a 33-year-old man was sliding down the falls when he entered the deeper part of the water and immediately began to experience difficulty. Police say the man fell and did not resurface. A bystander jumped into the water to help but was unable to reach the victim in time.
The RCMP underwater recovery team, assisted by Manitoba Conservation officers and Manitoba Parks staff, located and recovered the body the next day.
The investigation continues.
