SICAMOUS – The Saskatchewan man who died after jumping off a houseboat in Mara Lake Tuesday has been identified.
The B.C. Coroners Service confirms the man who died was Scott Kevin Hardy Glen, aged 24, of Saskatoon, Sask.
Glen was staying with friends on a rental houseboat moored at a marina at Mara Lake near Sicamous. In the early morning hours of Aug. 4, he and a friend went left the deck of the houseboat to go swimming and Glen did not resurface.

RCMP said alcohol is believed to be a factor.
