Stan Cappis Identified After River Rescue Attempt | Canada News

The body of Stan Cappis, a Red Deer man who vanished in the North Thompson River in July 2024, has been identified nearly two years later. He went into the water attempting to save two youths — his friend and the teens made it out safely, but Cappis didn’t. Massive search efforts involving RCMP, air crews, and SAR teams failed to find him initially, leaving the community and responders heartbroken. The river is notoriously dangerous — cold, deep, and full of strong currents — and while some areas have lifeguards, most are off-limits. Kamloops has since added more warning signs, but officials know people will still take the risk. This tragedy is a sobering reminder of nature’s power and the cost of underestimating it.
