A man who went missing after a fishing boat sank on Cockeram Lake earlier in October has been found dead, RCMP says.
The boat and two occupants, a 30-year-old woman and a 61-year-old man, both from the nearby Town of Lynn Lake, were reported missing on Oct. 15 at around 10 p.m.
The pair had gone on a fishing trip.
The missing boat was found submerged in the lake and police say civilian searchers later found the woman dead.
