Body found in Red River near Roseau River First Nation

Manitoba First Nations Police Service investigators are trying to determine the circumstances of a Roseau River First Nation man’s death after his body was found in the Red River last month.

MFNPS were called after someone discovered a body in the Red River, east of Roseau River, on May 14. The First Nation is about 80 kilometres south of Winnipeg.

Investigators have since identified the dead man as Reuban Gabriel Atkinson, of Roseau River.

Investigators are asking for the public’s help as they look into how Atkinson died. They ask anyone with potentially helpful information to call the Roseau River detachment at 204-427-3383, or the service’s anonymous tip line at 1-833-978-0048 or by email at TIPS@MFNP.ca.
