The Canadian Press, 06 Aug, 2015 12:39 PM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — A 24-year-old man from Saskatoon, Sask., has been identified by the BC Coroners Service as the victim of swimming accident in B.C.'s Shuswap Lake.
     
    The service says Scott Kevin Glen was staying with friends on a rental houseboat moored at a marina near Sicamous, in B.C.'s Interior.
     
    In the early morning of Aug. 4, he and a friend were swimming off the deck of the houseboat when Glen didn't resurface.
     
    The friend called for help, but Glen couldn't be found.
     
    A RCMP dive team found the man's body later that morning about 15 metres below the surface.
     
    The coroners' service and the RCMP are investigating the death.
