Dec 8, 2020 | 3:59 PM

A missing snowmobiler has been found dead on the shore of Lac La Ronge.

In a media release Stanley Mission RCMP said they responded to a report of the missing 37-year-old man Sunday morning around 10:15 a.m.

Officers went to the shore of the lake to coordinate with local residents searching for the missing snowmobiler, verified the missing snowmobiler’s home, and requested the Saskatchewan RCMP Underwater Recovery Team to help with the search.

Within 30 minutes, local residents located the missing snowmobiler deceased on the shore of the lake. Stanley Mission RCMP attended the location and recovered the body.

Initial investigation indicates the male was snowmobiling, the night before, with two friends on Lac La Ronge to reach a cabin in the area. The snowmobilers got lost and drove over a section of thin ice. Both snowmobiles went through the ice.
