RCMP say a third body has been found after a boating tragedy on the swollen Squamish River, north of Vancouver.
Cpl. Brett Urano has confirmed the discovery but says he cannot provide further details.
No one remains unaccounted for in the incident that happened on Thursday around 2 p.m.
Squamish RCMP say the search involved Squamish Search and Rescue, RCMP Air Services, the Lower Mainland District Integrated Emergency Response Team, the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, and West Coast Marine Services.
The fatal incident comes after southwest British Columbia was drenched by a series of storms that brought more than 300 millimetres of rain to some areas this week.
Cpl. Ashley MacKay with Squamish RCMP had called the Squamish operation “time-sensitive and complex,” with the weather and river conditions playing a “significant role” in the response.
