Calgary Man's Body Pulled From Peace River In B.C.

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Jul, 2019 08:23 PM

    HUDSON'S HOPE, B.C. - The body of a Calgary man has been recovered from the Peace River in northeast British Columbia, nearly two months after he was swept away while fishing.

     

    In a social media post, the family of Aaron Kingma says his body was spotted Tuesday by a family living along the Peace River near Hudson's Hope, west of Fort St. John.

     

    The 39-year-old was fishing in that area on May 29 when he was pulled under by a strong current.

     

    The post says RCMP have positively identified the body.

     

    The family is now making arrangements to return Kingma's body to Calgary.

     

    He is survived by a wife and two daughters, aged nine and one.

     

    Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said it had been one month since the man was swept away.
