The Conservation Officer Service’s wildlife human attack response team has been deployed and is working with the Coroner’s Service and RCMP as they investigate. Conservation officers are working to identify and locate the animal or animals that may have been involved.
McTavish lake is located about 90 kilometres north of La Ronge.
The Ministry of Community Safety is advising residents, cabin owners, visitors and outdoor recreation users to use caution while outdoors and take steps to avoid wildlife encounters.
In a press release, the Ministry of Community Safety said the investigation remains in its early stages, and officials said no further details will be released at this time.
Fatal wildlife attacks remain rare in Saskatchewan, but the province recorded a deadly encounter with a bear just a few months ago. In May, a 27-year-old contractor was killed by a black bear at a remote work site northeast of Points North Landing. That was the fourth recorded fatal black bear attack in Saskatchewan.
