It happened Saturday just before 1 p.m. at Sturgeon Falls near the Nutamik Lake.

RCMP say a woman slipped on the rocks and fell into the water, where a strong current pulled her into the lake.

A Manitoba Conservation Service officer found the woman by boat. She was taken to hospital, but later died.
