The information I read in the link mentioned uses the plurals "items" and, and states that details of what was found was not provided. Because that does not preclude a sleeping bag, I Googled the matter a few minutes ago, and it seems there was a chain of findings – first a blue sleeping bag in the Nelson River that triggered further search, which led to finding a damaged boat, and later, according to https://www.theglobeandmail.com/can...leeping-bag-in-nelson-river-triggered-search/"The exhaustive search led the police to find items linked to the pair, although the RCMP will not reveal what the items are"
For now, I'll stick to my hyperthermia supposition, although it could be some variant of suicide. We will find out, I suspect, although the matter is not worth dwelling on – they will remain just as dead, whatever happened.
