The RCMP have announced that the boy, who was from Estevan, was found deceased shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Monday. He was located approximately 100 feet off shore at Boundary Dam, near where he was last seen.
At around 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, emergency crews responded to a call of a possible drowning at the Boundary Dam beach site. A 12-year-old male was swimming with another individual when the youth was observed going under the water.
