A man died while kayaking Thursday afternoon on St-Charles Lake, north of Quebec City.
Members of the local fire department were called to the lake, between Quebec City and the municipality of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, around 4 pm after a witness reported a capsized kayak.
The 59-year-old victim was located by firefighters and pulled from the water. He was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition but didn’t survive.
A coroner will shed light on what happened, but firefighters confirmed the man was wearing a lifejacket when they found him.
