Moose Lake RCMP responded to a report of two overdue boaters on the afternoon of October 14th. At around 2 o clock on Saturday afternoon five fishermen in two boats left Moose Lake and headed towards the Big Island Camp about 10 kilometres southwest of the community but only one boat arrived at the camp.
Several locals went out to look for the two missing fisherman and the RCMP was notified at 4:10 on Sunday afternoon that the missing boat was located and the two males aged 39 and 49 were found dead.
Autopsies are scheduled and the investigation is ongoing.
