The bodies of a man and a child were recovered Thursday morning after a tractor fell into a lake the evening before in Saint-Zénon, a town two hours north of Montreal in Quebec’s Lanaudière region.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) confirmed the news to Radio-Canada, saying the recovery happened around 11:30 a.m. ET.
There’s currently no criminal investigation, the provincial police service said.
The SQ said the tractor driver, a man in his 40s, had been clearing snow from a path near the lake.
Emergency services had been called to the scene at 6 p.m. Wednesday by a relative who said they saw the tractor sink, prompting a search involving divers.
