On June 23, the boy was playing on a sandbar near Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation on Makwa Lake when he was pulled in by the currents, say Saskatchewan RCMP.
Loon Lake RCMP, nearby residents and search teams lead the initial recovery efforts with the search continuing for months.

Saskatchewan RCMP said the strong currents caused the boy to drown.
