Brian Lannon, a 53-year-old Kamloops firefighter, is presumed drowned in Okanagan Lake after a weekend diving accident. Lannon was in Kelowna on May 15 for recreational scuba diving. During the second dive of the day, Lannon became separated from his diving partner and the team lost contact with him. The search for Lannon, led by Kelowna RCMP, has been ongoing since May 15 and is now considered a recovery effort. Jamie Chase, fellow Kamloops Fire Rescue member and close friend of Lannon, said Lannon was passionate about scuba diving.
