A woman has died after being pulled from the Puntledge River near Courtenay Friday night, according to Comox Valley RCMP.

Her son was in the water for almost half an hour.
“The child is still listed in critical condition. He was airlifted out of St. Joseph’s Hospital and to BC Children’s Hospital.”
The BC Coroners’ Service is now involved in the investigation, which includes figuring out why the pair went into the river in the first place.
