A body found in the South Saskatchewan River is believed to be Adan Vargas Salvador, a Mexican man who went missing on June 20 after riding his jet-ski over a weir near Saskatoon. Police are using dental records to confirm the identity and have notified his family. The jet-ski was recovered the same day he disappeared. This incident highlights the dangers of watercraft use in areas with strong currents. Future coverage may focus on the official confirmation of his identity and the conclusion of the investigation.
