Manitoba RCMP are looking into a mysterious substance that led to the death of one man and put two teens in hospital.
Officers from the God’s Lake Narrows detachment were called early Sunday morning about a 20-year-old man who had been taken to the local nursing station after drinking a liquid substance.
When police arrived at the nursing station they learned the man had been pronounced dead, while a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old had to be flown to Winnipeg for treatment after also consuming the substance.
