CJOB News Team reporting

A man is dead after a canoe capsized on Little Playgreen Lake near Norway House.

RCMP say four people were in a canoe early yesterday morning when it capsized. Three were able to swim to shore.

An 18-year-old man, who did not know how to swim, was pulled from the water, but local EMS weren't able to resuscitate him.

No one in the canoe was wearing a lifejacket. Alcohol has not been ruled out as a factor.
