At around 5:30 p.m. Friday, the police were notified a man had gone into the river, said Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Louis-Philippe Bibeau.

The victim, a 22-year-old Montrealer, and two other young men were standing on the banks when their boat was swept away by the current. He then tried to stop it, but fell into the river during the manoeuvre.

The victim was not wearing a life-jacket. One of his friends tried to rescue him, but had to turn back to avoid falling in as well, Bibeau said.

The search effort was initiated by boat patrollers and forest rangers along the banks. A Coast Guard helicopter was deployed on Saturday to search for the man by air.

Saturday morning, divers from the SQ headed for the scene to begin underwater searches.
