A little horseplay turned to horror yesterday when a Toronto teen
slipped under the waves of Falcon Lake and never surfaced again.
A group of 12 men and boys from Ontario had been in Winnipeg for
a Muslim religious convention when they decided to make a pit stop
at Falcon Lake for brunch and fun before beginning the long drive
back home.
A spokesman for the group says three teens hopped in a canoe that
was lying around and went out in the water without lifejackets.
The spokesman says the 17-year-old was fooling around and stood
up in the canoe, causing it to tip.
