Friday, May 9

A man has died and another is missing after a boating malfunction on Lake Manitoba.

RCMP say a boat stopped working yesterday with two men on board from Sandy Bay First Nation.

Due to strong winds, the area fire department could not launch its boat to help.

Police say a bystander on the beach saw both men in the water trying to swim to shore, and neither man was wearing a life-jacket.
