REGINA — Questions are being raised about why it took a Regina man 30 minutes to find help for his friend who disappeared while swimming.
A woman who called 911 says there were people around Wascana Lake in front of the legislature on Saturday, but the man told her that no one would make the call.
Lani Elliott says on Facebook that she was taking pictures when a distraught and dishevelled aboriginal man approached her and said his friend had just died in the water.
Elliott says the crying man told her that everyone he had asked ignored his pleas for help.
A police spokeswoman confirms the man was last seen in the water 30 minutes before help was called, but wouldn’t speculate as to why there was a delay.
The body of Darlyn Boyd Johns of no fixed address was found the next day.
