The body of a man who went missing while paddle boarding on a lake east of Edmonton over the weekend has been recovered.
RCMP said Parks Canada, along with their cadaver dog and a provincial dive team, recovered the body of the missing 42-year-old man from Astotin Lake at Elk Island National Park shortly after noon Monday.
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP received the report of the missing paddle boarder at about 5:20 p.m. on Saturday. Police said two paddle boarders were together on the lake when one lost sight of the other.
