The body of a man who drowned in Okanagan Lake near McKinley Landing has been recovered by the RCMP dive team. The man, a tourist from Manitoba, entered the water from a watercraft at McKinley Landing around 5 p.m. on August 26 and was not seen again. On August 30, shortly after 2:00 p.m., the dive team located the missing man, approximately 38 meters from the sea in Okanagan Lake. The BC coroner’s office has taken over the case and there is no criminal investigation. The man’s family has been notified and is receiving support through the RCMP Victim Service. “Unfortunately the Central Okanagan has had several drowning deaths this summer which shocks and saddens us all. Our hearts go out to the families who lost loved ones,” said Cst. Mike Della-Paolera, media relations officer for the Kelowna RCMP. “Two-thirds of drowning victims know how to swim. Accidents can happen at any time, and they can happen to you. Be prepared, be aware and keep your PFD on at all times whenever you are on the water,” he added. This is the tenth drowning in the Thompson-Okanagan this summer and the fifth on Okanagan Lake. For more information on water safety, visit the Boating BC Association website at: www.boatingbc.ca.
