The body of a second man who drowned in an incident on Lake Manitoba last week has been found.
The Manitoba First Nations Police Service contacted Amaranth RCMP at about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday after the body was recovered along the shoreline.
The body has been identified as that of the 41-year-old male who had been missing since the May 8 incident. The body of a 22-year-old man was found on shore Friday morning.
RCMP said last week that officers were told that the two Sandy Bay men had launched a boat that malfunctioned. The fire department couldn’t launch a boat to get to the vessel because of high winds.
A bystander later saw both men in the water about 200 metres from shore, trying to swim to safety. Neither man was wearing a life jacket.
