A Montreal man is dead and another person remains missing after two people fell into the St. Lawrence River near Marsoui in the Gasp\u00e9 region on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Quebec provincial police say emergency services received calls about two people in distress in the water at around 8:15 a.m. <\/p>\n

The two were fishing from a rocky shelf when one lost his footing and fell in the water. The second person attempted to help and was also swept away by the current.<\/p>\n

Police told CBC one of the victims, a man in his 30s from Montreal, was discovered by search teams on Friday morning. <\/p>\n

The Canadian Coast Guard, local firefighters and volunteers joined a provincial police boat and helicopter in the search on Friday. <\/p>\n

Police continue the search for the second person, also from Montreal. <\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, \u00c9lizabeth Marquis-Guy, a S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec (SQ) spokesperson, told Radio-Canada that a command post has been set up and search specialists have been requested on site. <\/p>\n

Marsoui mayor Ren\u00e9e Gasse said her thoughts are with the families of the fishers. <\/p>\n

“I am certain that the entire population is shaken by this event,” she said, adding that the tides had been unusually strong in the area in recent days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Last week, we had huge tides, autumn tides in the middle of July,” she said. <\/p>\n

A Quebec provincial police boat and a helicopter remained on site Saturday to search the water and the shoreline.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-811395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
