WINNIPEG – RCMP say two men died on Saturday in a pair of separate drownings in an area near the Manitoba capital.
Mounties say officers were called to Reynolds Ponds, about 80 kilometres east of Winnipeg, after bystanders reported that a male swimmer didn’t resurface.
They say a 70-year-old man from Ontario was pulled from the water.
Just hours later, police were called to a beach northwest of the city where two men had gone out on the lake with a pool flotation device, but lost their balance and fell in.
One was rescued by a nearby kayaker, but a 25-year-old from Winnipeg was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police continue to investigate the drownings.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 3, 2025.
