BAIE-SAINT-PAUL, Que. – Quebec provincial police say they have found a body in the community where two volunteer firefighters were swept away by floodwaters Monday.
Police say in a news release that it appears to be the body of one of the men who went missing during a rescue mission in St-Urbain, Que., northeast of Quebec City, but a coroner will have to confirm.
Multiple media have reported that the two missing firefighters were Christopher Lavoie, 23, and Régis Lavoie, 55, who were reportedly not related.
More coming.
