Drowning in Shuswap Lake

A Lower Mainland man died in a drowning on Shuswap Lake over the long weekend.

Salmon Arm RCMP were called to a campground on Sunday where a 37 year old Surrey man who was on vacation had gone missing while swimming in a designated swim area.

“Our local Salmon Arm Search and Rescue team was called into conduct a shore search as the Salmon Arm RCMP maintained a presence at the location overnight,” says Staff Sgt. Scott West.

On Monday, a RCMP Underwater Team recovered the man from the lake.
