A search resumed Wednesday morning for a man who went missing at Buntzen Lake near Coquitlam on Tuesday.
Coquitlam Search and Rescue was called out just after 5 p.m. Tuesday to find a 20-year-old man who disappeared while swimming near the dog beach.
A total of 20 crew members and two boats assisted in the search until it grew too dark to continue.
The missing man is a 19-year-old from Surrey, who was in the lake with a group of friends who called police when they noticed he was no longer in sight. There is no indication of foul play.
Coquitlam Search and Rescue said via social media that if the rescue turns out to be a fatality, it’ll be the seventh in four weeks for B.C. Search and Rescue crews.
Buntzen Lake is closed for the time being as police try to locate the missing man.
More to come.
