A 70-year-old woman has died after reportedly falling through the ice on Lake Winnipegosis, RCMP confirmed.
Winnipegosis RCMP received a report around 1 p.m. on Thursday that the woman, who had gone for her usual walk with her two dogs, had not returned home. Concerned family members searched the area and found one of her dogs sitting alone on the ice.
Emergency responders, including RCMP and the local fire department, launched a search in an area with open water. The woman was eventually found under the ice and recovered. She was transported to Dauphin hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
RCMP continue to investigate.
