A Delta man died over the weekend after falling into the Chilliwack River while fishing.
Graeme Gordon Carswell, 21, was fishing with a friend on Sunday when he fell into the river and was swept away by the current.
“His companion was not able to rescue him and called for help,” the B.C. Coroners Service said in a news release.
Chilliwack RCMP and a search and rescue team responded and pulled Carswell from the river several kilometres downstream from where he had fallen. He was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital but could not be resuscitated.
Both RCMP and the B.C. Coroners Service are investigating the incident.
