The La Ronge RCMP are investigating after a man drowned at the Bell’s Point Beach on the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.

According to a media release, the 42-year-old man drowned on Saturday shortly before 6 p.m.

Both La Ronge RCMP members and La Ronge EMS members responded to the scene.

The officers found the man on the beach where a member of the public was doing CPR and the officers assisted until EMS arrived. The male was taken to hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead.

Police do not believe the death to be suspicious. A forensic autopsy was ordered by the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service and will take place this week. Police continue to investigate.
