Two people are dead after a boating accident near Creighton, Sask., Wednesday night.
The body of a woman was initially found after the accident and the body of a man, 54, was found a couple of days later.
The RCMP said a third person was able to make it to shore safely.
The three people were ejected from a jet-ski on Wekash Lake just south-west of Creighton at about 8 p.m. CST.
The RCMP said they were not wearing lifejackets.
Police said alcohol as well as driver inexperience may have been factors in the accident.
Creighton is located about 400 kilometres north-east of Prince Albert near the Manitoba border.
