MILITARY ENDS SEARCH FOR DOWNED FLOAT PLANE, 3 MEN

The Canadian military has ended its role in the drawn-out search for a float plane and three missing men following a crash into a Labrador lake almost a month ago. The RCMP have been leading the search for victims and the downed de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver in Mistastin Lake, about 100 kilometres southwest of Nain. Seven men, including the pilot, were on board the plane owned by airline Air Saguenay that crashed July 15. Four bodies have been recovered and three men are still missing. The cause is unknown.
