Grieving father says nine-year-old son slipped on rock and drowned
WINNIPEG — The father of a nine-year old Winnipeg boy who died in Ontario’s Rushing River Provincial Park this weekend says his son slipped on a rock and drowned.
Trevor Thomas tells CTV Winnipeg he was cooking supper Saturday night when his son, Kyree Bruneau-Thomas, disappeared.
Hours later, after a search by Ontario Provincial Police and park staff, Kyree was found dead.
Kyree was a grade four student at Cecil Rhodes school in Winnipeg.
