AN 83- year- old Winnipeg man
died Tuesday after river tubing in
Asessippi Provincial Park.
The Winnipeg man had been tubing
with family members around
5: 30 p. m. when they lost sight of him,
RCMP said Wednesday.
The man was not wearing a lifejacket.
Family members later found
him unconscious.
RCMP Russell Detachment and local
EMS were dispatched to the area;
after attempted resuscitation, the
man was rushed to hospital where he
was pronounced dead.
The cause of death has not yet been
determined and an autopsy will take
place in the coming days.
RCMP did not release the name of
the deceased.

A GIRL whose father died at the bottom
of the Selkirk pool this week
was screaming for help moments
after her father sank. A woman beside
her was yelling, too.
But it was hard for lifegaurds to hear
them over music blasting out of the
pool's public address system, said a
man who came to the rescue.
" It was weird because I'd just passed
them 30 seconds before and I could see
the woman's mouth moving and the
little girl's but I couldn't hear them because
the music was so loud," said Jeff
Gunn, who swims laps almost every
day at the outdoor pool at Selkirk Park.
The victim was identified by family
on Wednesday as Curtis Niemi, a
44- year- old single dad to his daughter
Hannah. His obituary described him as
a Manitoba Hydro cableman.
The little girl was only seven months
old when her mother died five years
ago, leaving Niemi as the sole parent.
He coached soccer and was involved in
his daughter's activities ranging from
dance and gymnastics to woodworking
as he shouldered the responsibilities of
single parenthood.
Instead of flowers, the Niemis are
asking people to donate to Hannah's
trust fund, set up after her mother's
death, at any Scotiabank branch.
A chorus of critics on the Free Press
website shared Gunn's concern about
the noisy music drowning out screams
for help as Niemi died.
" I saw you rescue the man and commend
you for your quick actions," one
response read. " The point about the
dock being manned is necessary as is
the radio not being on. Here's hoping
Randy Borsa takes these recommendations
to action."
Borsa, the City of Selkirk chief administrative
officer, said Wednesday
the music that has been a staple at the
pool is going to be reconsidered.
" We will be looking into that," Borsa
said, adding the music wasn't an issue
brought to his attention until now.
On the day of Niemi's death, Gunn
said he heard the music cut out and a
call went out on public address system
to " Get off the dock."
Gunn said he saw the little girl was
suddenly alone. Her arms rested on the
dock but the man had vanished.
Gunn said he reached the woman and
girl in a few strokes and dove down and
saw something that jolted him.
" I went, ' Holy s---! What's under
there?' It was the man. And the woman
was swimming right above him."
Gunn grabbed Niemi and got him to
pool's edge. He was about to administer
mouth- to- mouth when the lifeguards
took over.
There were two lifeguards who activated
a portable machine that appeared
to be a defibrillator, Gunn said. Before
they could use the paddles, however,
they had to follow a series of prompts
from the device before the paddles
could deliver their electrical current.
The jolt is designed to kick- start a
heart that's stopped beating and restore
cardiac rhythm.
Gunn isn't suggesting the delay cost
Niemi his life, but thought the rescue
should have been smoother.
" I hope something changes. They need
four lifeguards, not two, and they should
give them polarized sunglasses so they
can see to the bottom of the pool.
" Then they have to turn the bloody
music off," Gunn said.
