The search for Nour Ali, a 42-year-old Winnipeg man who went missing on Lake Winnipeg last weekend, has ended, as RCMP say they have found the body. Officers say his body was discovered at 2:30 p.m. Thursday (June 18), with help from the Canadian Coast Guard and the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team.
Last Saturday (June 13) police say five people were fishing in a boat when it took on water and capsized. Numerous witnesses could see the boat from shore and called 911. A number of people who were on the water, came to their assistance. Three men, aged 37, 48 and 65, were rescued from the water and taken to hospital.
A 73-year-old man from Winnipeg was found in the water, taken to shore and was pronounced deceased.
