Late yesterday morning ,the Outlook RCMP, local EMS and STARS were all dispatched to a reported drowning on Lake Diefenbaker near the Danielson Provincial Park.

First-responders located a 46-year-old male, who upon their arrival, was deceased. Reportedly, the man accompanied by three friends were scuba diving approximately 200 yards from shore. The victim was said to have lost contact with his fellow divers and was located in the water shortly after, despite CPR efforts, the man passed away.

Outlook RCMP are not considering the man’s death suspicious in nature and have ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors.

The incident remains under investigation as the RCMP receive assistance from the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service.
