On August 5th, 2012 at approximately 1:30 pm, a 56 year old male from the Vancouver area was reported missing by his 3 friends. The 4 had been fishing from shore at Peanut Pond and were getting ready to leave when the male decided to go for a swim while the other 3 packed their belongings. After a short time the friends went back to look for the male but he could not be found. The friends used a paddle boat to go around the Pond but still could not find the man and were not sure if he had left the area on foot. Police conducted foot patrols around Peanut Pond and Osoyoos throughout the night looking for the missing man. The RCMP Dive Team was arranged to attend the following morning. On August 6th at 7:00 am, a local resident advised Police that a body had surfaced in Peanut Pond. Police assisted the BC Coroner with removing the body who was identified as the missing man from the previous night. Police are assisting the Coroner as no foul play is suspected. Alcohol may be a contributing factor with the drowning.
