Mounties say they were called early yesterday evening about a swimmer missing on Browning Lake.

When they arrived they say they were told the man, in his 20s, had slipped off the inflatable and couldn't be found.

He was located a short time later, pulled from the water and rushed to hospital but police say he didn't survive.
