The body of a 62-year-old man was found in Lake Winnipeg Sunday, Gimli RCMP say.

On Sunday morning, Gimli RCMP and the Manitoba RCMP Marine Unit responded following a report of an abandoned boat in open water near Willow Island, south of Gimli.

The Manitoba RCMP Marine Unit and Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Unit were deployed to the scene and officers were told by local Coast Guard authorities that a wallet and cellphone were located on the boat, but there were no occupants.

A few hours later, searchers found the body of the man, who was the sole occupant of the boat.

Gimli RCMP continues to investigate.
