COCHRANE— Cochrane RCMP was on scene on the banks of the Bow River after a bystander saw what they believed to be a body floating downstream.

The report came in at roughly 2 p.m. and Cochrane’s emergency services quickly dispatched crews to the scene.

“We initially got a call from a bystander who felt that they had seen what could have been a body floating by in the river, so RCMP and Cochrane Fire, we both deployed boats,” said Cpl. Troy Savinkoff with the Cochrane RCMP.

Savinkoff noted RCMP was able to locate the body, but there are no further details available at this time.

“We have located a body and our investigation into who that is will begin, but at this point, we don’t have any details yet.”
