A 42-year-old Alberta man has died after having a heart attack while boating on Shuswap Lake Sunday.
RCMP say the man was taken to the nearby floating store on Shuswap Lake, where an off-duty doctor and nurse performed CPR and used an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to try and revive him.
Police and marine rescue were called in to help save the man, but he couldn’t be revived.
RCMP have not released his name, but say he was from the Calgary area. The investigation has been passed over to the BC Coroners Service.
This marks the second death on Shuswap Lake Sunday.
