Police, volunteers, and Lake of the Woods Search and Rescue continue to search for a second boater who went missing last week in the Sabaskong Bay area of Lake of the Woods.
On Saturday, members of the OPP Marine Unit, with the assistance of the OPP helicopter, located the body of one of the missing men, Randy Mandamin, 20, floating near an island.
The search continues for Cain Comegan, 16, with the help of the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit.
Four young men, all from the Morson and Big Grassy areas, had gone out on the lake last Wednesday around 7 p.m. to go fishing.
Around 5 a.m., their boat struck a reef and all four ended up in the water.
Two of the men were able to use seat cushions to help them swim to shore and were picked up later Thursday afternoon by a passing boater.
A search for the two missing men started immediately.
