The Department of Foreign affairs has confirmed to RedFM News, that they are providing consular assistance to the families of two men killed in Canada over the weekend.
Reports from Canada said the men were found in a vehicle that had flipped over at 10.30am on Saturday morning, just west of Melita in the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Emergency services personnel at the scene said the men, aged 33 and 42, were unresponsive in the vehicle and were later pronounced dead at the scene.
