The family of a paramedic believed to have drowned in Kashechewan is headed to the community as search and recovery efforts continue.
Chief Gaius Wesley of Kashechewan First Nation provided an update on the search efforts on his social media page late Tuesday evening.
The paramedic went missing Monday when he and another paramedic, along with a nurse, were headed to Fort Albany to get supplies.
After hitting a shallow area with their boat, the paramedic ended up in the water and was pulled into a strong current.
The search and recovery (SAR) operation planned to restart Wednesday morning, Wesley said.
“The SAR operation crew have expanded their search areas further downstream and to the Bay area conducting searches at every shoreline including islands,” he said.
“The concentration area was being searched throughout the afternoon by sticks/hooks including fish finders. This stretches approximately 200-250 feet downstream where the accident occurred.”
