Drowning at Lake Diefenbaker

Jun 27, 2011 | 9:19 AM

A little boy has drowned after a weekend fishing trip with his dad.

Yesterday, Kyle RCMP were called to Prairie Lake Regional Park on Lake Diefenbaker.

A nine-year-old boy camping with his dad left his campsite to go fishing at the dock and never returned. A fishing rod was later found tangled in the water off the dock.

After 10 p.m., following an extensive search, the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team found him under water near the dock.

The boy's name is not being released.
