RCMP said community members and officers were on scene immediately and started a search, both in the water and on shore. Nets were also set so the boy would not be swept away in the current.
The search continued for two days and on June 14 community members checked the nets and found the body of the little boy.
No foul play is suspected.
Shamattawa is about 750 km northeast of Winnipeg.
