RCMP in Saskatchewan say they are treating the death of Greagan Geldenhuys, 7, as accidental. The lad’s body was found Sunday by a couple walking on the beach at a campground near Fort Qu’Appelle northeast of Regina. His mother, Tamaine Geldenhuys, was found dead, apparently washed up on a nearby beach, on August 24. The boy’s uncle, Darcy Pantel, posted the following to Facebook:
“There could be more details, but in reality, a mother and son perished after being at the beach on a windy, windy day. They were at the beach because they enjoyed being there together. Our plea to you is to love your children, teach them to be safe. Don’t turn our sadness into fear of the water, but rather to help them understand the seriousness of water safety,” he wrote, adding it’s also important to teach appreciation for first responders, police and firefighters. “I can’t think of any way that anyone could have been more supportive throughout the entire process. I could not have asked for more.”
