Divers To Recover Body Of Young Man From Vancouver’s Lynn Canyon: RCMP

The Canadian Press, 12 Sep, 2015 02:37 PM
    VANCOUVER — Mounties say divers hope to recover the body of a young man from the waters of a popular park in North Vancouver on Saturday morning.
     
    RCMP Sgt. Doug Trousdell says police and local firefighters responded to a call of a possible drowning in Lynn Canyon, just downstream from a suspension bridge, Friday evening.
     
    Trousdell says they know where the young man is but couldn't get to him and after about an hour the rescue turned into a recovery operation.
     
    He says RCMP divers will arrive to recover the body in the morning.
     
    The canyon is popular with divers, but Trousdell says he didn't know what the young man was doing when the accident happened.
     
    He says firefighters and paramedics have left and police will guard the bridge, which will remain closed.
