Almost a week after a family of four — including a teenager and an infant — were found frozen to death in Emerson, Manitoba (Canada) the Royal Canadian Mountain Police say they have not yet established the identity of the deceased thought to be Indian. Several news reports had identified a family of four, originally from Gujarat thought to those who had died.
“The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mountain Police) continues to work to confirm the identities of the four victims who were located on Wednesday,” a statement released on January 24 said. The Hindu had approached the Canadian police on Wednesday asking for a confirmation of the identity and was directed to this statement.
“We are also in regular contact with Indian consular officials who have arrived in Manitoba. Once the identities have been confirmed, our priority will be to formally notify the next of kin,” they said.
