The Loon Lake RCMP is asking for the public’s help locating the family of Brittany Blackwell.
On Oct. 23, the 64-year-old Blackwell died in the RM of Loon Lake. The RCMP has been trying to locate her family to let them know of this, but the Mounties have been unsuccessful.
The Loon Lake RCMP is not investigating her death; officers are only trying to locate her next of kin.
“It’s important that we speak with a member of Brittany’s family,” Loon Lake RCMP Sgt. Earl Keewatin said in a release. “We’ve been trying to find her family for almost two months now.
“We’ve made local inquiries, checked RCMP databases and asked community partners to share any information they can about Brittany. We understand this is not the typical way to reach out to next of kin, but we are now asking the public to help us identify members of her family.”
Blackwell may have connections to the Assiniboia area, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Anyone who has information is asked to call the Loon Lake RCMP at 306-837-2440.
