According to the Sûreté du Québec, five people, including two children, were on board the boat which was sailing on the Dallaire stream at the start of the day. The boat would have capsized for an unspecified reason and the emergency services of the MRC de Manicouagan were called to the scene shortly before 1 p.m.
Four victims, including children, were quickly rescued and transported to a hospital. We do not know their state of health.
In the case of the fifth victim, we had still not been able to find him at the beginning of the evening.
A boat from the fire department and another from the wildlife officers criss-cross the body of water in search of the fifth victim. A boat from the SQ was also expected on site. At the same time, police search the banks in the hope of finding the individual who could not be rescued.
It is unclear whether or not he was wearing a life jacket.
