Hunter reported missing found dead, second still unaccounted for

One of two hunters who was reported missing in the Far North has been found deceased.  

On Oct. 18 at approximately 11 a.m., Black Lake RCMP received a report of two overdue hunters who did not return when expected. They were hunting in a remote location south of Black Lake.  

Community members began searching for the men and soon after officers received a second report that a deceased man was located near an empty boat in the water south of Black Lake. It has been determined he was one of the missing hunters and his family has been notified.  

Based on preliminary investigation, his death is not believed to be suspicious in nature. The Saskatchewan Coroners Service will work to determine his cause of death.
