    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.

    The coroners' service and the RCMP are investigating the death.
