RCMP are investigating after the body of a 45-year-old man was recovered yesterday from the lake at Big River First Nation.

Police were called around 11:15 and found the man floating about 15 metres from the shoreline.

The victim is from the Big River First Nation, but his name has not been released.

It is believed he had been swimming in the lake.

The death is not considered to be suspicious, but an autopsy will be done this week in in Saskatoon.
