RCMP are looking for witnesses in what they believe to be a criminal death of a five year old girl at Wabamun Lake last week. Crews were called to the lake in the afternoon after reports that a canoe had capsized with a woman and child inside.
The five-year-old girl was pulled from the water by bystanders near the playground at the provincial park. First responders could not revive her, and she died. The woman was also pulled from the lake but no further details were given on her condition.
On Thursday, RCMP said they don’t believe the canoe capsized and think this death is criminal in nature. Anyone who saw the drowning or who was in the area between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. is asked to call Parkland RCMP at 825-220-2000.
