An RCMP dive team will be dispatched to Sugar Lake Saturday, in hopes of recovering the body of an Armstrong man believed to have fallen through the ice. David Gowing, 57, had been reported missing after failing to return home from an ice fishing trip to the lake, located east of Lumby. RCMP spokesman, Gord Molendyk, says it is believed Gowing went through the ice on Tuesday, December 30. "Search and Rescue located his sled on the edge of the lake with tracks going out to a hole in the ice," says Molendyk. "It appears he was fishing and the ice broke away under him." Molendyk says Vernon Search and Rescue surveyed the scene during daylight Thursday and are sure Gowing fell through the ice. "We're on a recovery mission now." He says relatives went to Sugar Lake Thursday and recovered his sled and equipment.
