One drowned, one missing in Kivalliq boating accident

Two out of four men have been rescued from a boat that overturned outside of Whale Cove last Friday.

Luki Simik, 42, and Nipi Alogut, 39, were rescued on Saturday in fair condition.

On Monday, a search and rescue team from Winnipeg found the body of Kevin Naitok, 28, of Chesterfield Inlet. Naitok had managed to swim to a small island and make camp, but did not survive long enough to be rescued.

A fourth boater, Kamil Simik, 63, of Chesterfield Inlet, remains missing and is presumed drowned.
