A 61-year-old boater from Buffalo Narrows was found dead last week after his boat was discovered idling and empty on Peter Pond Lake.

According to the RCMP, police learned about the missing boater on Friday, and searched areas along the shoreline and the water with help from local residents and conservation officers.

“On July 6, 2024, the body of the adult male was located in the water,” the RCMP said in a statement.
