The two missing hunters in the Grand Rapids area have been found dead, say RCMP.
Searchers discovered the bodies from an RCMP helicopter in the waters of Lake Winnipeg south of Grand Rapids. The remote location meant a delay in getting to them and confirming their identities, said police.
The men were located together and the deaths don’t appear to be suspicious.
