A 25-year-old Moose Jaw man is dead after he drowned while kayaking near Buffalo Pound over the Canada Day long weekend.
On July 2, at around 3:45 p.m., Moose Jaw RCMP received a report of a missing kayaker at Sand Point Beach on Buffalo Pound Lake. The investigation determined that the adult male was kayaking when it overturned. He did not re-emerge from the water.
Moose Jaw RCMP, the Regina Fire and Rescue Dive Team, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency and the Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers (SARSAV) began searching for the male. They located the man deceased in the water — near where he was last seen — at around 3:45 p.m. on July 3.
Authorities have identified the 25-year-old male and have notified his family, while victim services have been offered to them.
The Saskatchewan Coroners Service continues to assist Moose Jaw RCMP with this investigation.
