West Kelowna RCMP have confirmed that the woman found floating face down at the mouth of Okanagan Lake has died.

Sgt. Greg Woodcox said that a 911 call was placed by a friend of the senior-aged victim, who was allegedly taking photos on a rock when she slipped into Powers Creek, just after 10a.m.

The woman was found floating face down just before 11a.m. CPR was immediately performed, but she was pronounced dead shortly after.
