The Saskatoon man died in early Tuesday morning when he failed to resurface after he and a friend were swimming from the swim deck of the houseboat.

His friends immediately called for help but a search of the area was unsuccessful.

Glen’s body was recovered later that morning by a RCMP dive team in about 15 metres of water.

Alcohol may have been a factor in his death. The coroner and RCMP continue to investigate.
