A suspected drowning in Madawaska Valley has the attention of local police.
Killaloe OPP tell myFM that they were sent to a call on Dam Lake just before 6:00pm on Saturday, July 29th, where an unresponsive person was found in shallow water.
Despite community members and paramedics both attempting CPR at the scene and lifesaving measures taken afterward at local hospital, the 18-year-old from Madawaska Valley would eventually be pronounced dead.
Police are not considering the death suspicious at this time, as the Chief Coroner’s office has ordered a postmortem examination.
