Hi all. First time poster. Not sure if this is the right forum. Apologies if not.

I'm looking for information on a diving death in Lake Minnewanka, Alberta, Canada, at the 1912 dam site. (The 1912 dam was sunk when the later 1941 dam raised the lake's water level 100 feet. It's a popular local dive site.) I was told that, some time in the 1970s, an anesthesiologist named Dr. Hagan or Dr. Hagen apparently penetrated the 1912 dam (possibly the block house). Tragically, he did not come back up. I can't find any details using Google. Does anyone have more information, or a news article, or ... ?

thanks a lot
Matt
