WABAMUN, Alta. – Mounties in Alberta say a 5-year-old girl is dead after a canoe overturned on a lake west of Edmonton.
RCMP say they received a report of a capsized watercraft on Wabamun Lake near the provincial campground just before 3 p.m. on Sunday.
They say a 5-year-old girl was pulled from the water by bystanders, but despite life-saving efforts by emergency officials, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say a 35-year-old woman was also pulled from the water from other watercraft in the area.
They say the office of the chief medical examiner has been called in and the investigation is continuing.
