''He said the woman's body was discovered on Tuesday morning on the shoreline of a body of water, roughly 100 metres from where she was last seen. Shortly after, the body of the boy was found nearby.

"The terrain is very rugged and the embankment of the body of water is up to 80 feet high," said Tremblay, adding that the steepness of the cliff made search efforts challenging.

Deaths not suspicious​

He said ground search and rescue teams were assisted by a police dog team, helicopter and the Canadian Coast Guard.

"We've had rain storms over the weekend, so the level of water and the snow melt and ice, those are all factors for searchers, it makes it harder to search," he said.

Police said the deaths are not believed to be suspicious, but the investigation is ongoing''

That’s tragic, both her and the child…and odd that they were seen at 2 am. An overnight camping trip, I guess.

Moo....I don't think so. It is not camping weather out there. Maybe they left a residence for some reason, and were going home? Or maybe there was no home to go to?

could be accidental or natural
I guess suicide/murder is ruled out?

Moo...the rivers are running very high n fast, her home is very close to river, maybe she went to have a look?..moo

I’m not sure what “not suspicious” entails. It rules out murder, but suicide, I’m not certain.

 

[SMK777]

If she took the child to go check the river levels near her home, and they both fell in, that’s just horrible.

 

[SMK777]

In the right hand picture she looks so loving toward him, it’s really sad.

What a sad outcome!

but it would be murder of Lucas before her own suicide IMO so both ruled out

maybe he slipped into water and she went after him to try to rescue him

That’s a good point. That would explain a lot. There have been a few stories I’ve seen about people who drown trying to save their dogs who fall into water. Absolutely possible with a child as well.
