‘My hero:’ Two fathers and their young sons die in Manitoba canoeing accident
THOMPSON, Man. — A young man says he’s devastated after his father and his dad’s best friend died in a canoeing accident in northern Manitoba along with two of their sons.
James Cripps says it’s surreal that his father and younger brother are gone.
“It just feels like your entire world crashes down on you,” he said Tuesday.
RCMP said a search began on Monday after the four paddlers were reported overdue from a trip on the Burntwood River north of Thompson.
