The bodies of a man and a child were recovered Thursday morning after a tractor fell into a lake the evening before in Saint-Zénon, a town two hours north of Montreal in Quebec’s Lanaudière region. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) confirmed the news to Radio-Canada, saying the recovery happened around 11:30 a.m. The tractor driver, a man in his 40s, had been clearing snow from a path near the lake, the provincial police service said. The police investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding what happened, and the case will be transferred to the coroner's office. Emergency services had been called to the scene at 6 p.m. Wednesday by a relative who said they saw the tractor sink, prompting a search involving divers.
