Search and rescue teams have found the body of man who went missing after falling out of a fishing boat near Stavely, Alta.
A fishing boat capsized on the Pine Coulee reservoir on Saturday. RCMP say strong winds capsized the boat, throwing two men into the reservoir.
One of the men was able to swim to shore, but rescue crews searched all weekend for the other man. The body of the 29-year-old man was found at about 2 p.m. on Monday, RCMP said.
RCMP joined forces with the Lethbridge police dog unit and fire departments from Stavely, Nanton, Claresholm, Fort Macleod and Lethbridge.
The Lethbridge Fire Department also had its dive team on hand conducting an extensive search of the lake.
