RCMP said three adults and a 10-year-old child left the cove in a boat and about 10 minutes later, a storm hit the lake.

The boat overturned shortly after 4 p.m. and all four people fell into the water. Three of them “were able to stay with the boat with the assistance of their personal flotation devices and eventually managed to swim to shore,” RCMP said in a news release.

The fourth person was last seen in the water and is believed to have been hurt when the boat capsized.

The search was suspended later Monday because of weather conditions.
