Local Man Found


The body of a man who broke through the ice while in a trail groomer at a lake north of Fort Frances last Wednesday has been found.

74-year-old Edwin (Ted) Davis of Fort Frances was recovered by an OPP dive team early Saturday afternoon from the depths of the Lower Manitou.

Davis was working for Manitou Gold, a mining company doing exploration work in the area, and in the process of building a winter road when the accident happened.

The Coroner has ordered a Post Mortem examination to be conducted in Kenora today.

The Ministry of Labour is also investigating.
