A five-year-old girl is dead from a suspected drowning in a northern Manitoba community.
Thompson rural RCMP said Thursday they received a call from Brochet, an isolated, fly-in community, about a deceased child at approximately 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
The child had wandered away from her home and when her family went looking for her they found her body in a nearby lake. She was rushed to the local nursing station where she was pronounced dead.
