The police investigation led to the area of Mitchell Island where officers found evidence a vehicle may have entered the water and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team was called in to assist with a search.
RCMP confirm a submerged vehicle was pulled from the water and one occupant was pronounced dead at the scene. Another occupant was found close-by and police have yet to locate the third occupant. They are not identifying who was found and who is still missing at this time.
