Outaouais resident fishes human foot out of Lac des Pères

On Monday, a resident of Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau made a macabre discovery while fishing in Lac des Pères.

Radio-Canada said he caught a human foot in his rowboat in the middle of the lake.

The fisherman thought he had a big fish…but it was human remains waiting for him at the end of his fishing line…

Radio-Canada reported that SQ divers and a forensic identification team will be on-site to see if they can discover the other body parts and also identify to whom they belong.

A rigorous analysis will be conducted, and an investigation will be launched.

We don’t yet know whether this was a criminal act or an accidental death, but the investigation may reveal everything soon.
