This is getting creepy, so many boating deaths.

Condolences to the family from Team Thunderstruck 553.

Anybody hear if the locals are helping to search for Laurent Lemay? Help bring Laurent Lemay home, his family needs closure and your help. Keep us all posted.

God bless

With both my experiences and this tragic incident...catamarans are inherently dangerous. Even my old Hobie Cat 16 catamaran sailboat has out me into a few dangerous situations. I'm now quite scared of cats.

Hard to understand the why in loss of life. Condolences to all family and friends...

Our condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones; from everyone at Active Thunder. :(

I'm surprised I haven't heard anything. I would of thought that some local boaters and friends would still be searching for Laurent Lemay. If it were my friend or not I would be searching for him for his family. Let's hear something.

This is the link for the pictures of the accident.

Thanks for the photo's, quite a bite of damage. Haven't heard anything on here, is anyone still looking for Laurent Lemay?

nice find! Looking at some pictures, I'd guess he was knocked unconsious from the top port side of boat knocking probably right on the driver's (Laurent) head, then flipped ripping off the windshield...

That's just my guess...

I heard because of water temp being so cold, he could probably get stucked at the bottom of water till next spring.

Body produces some gas that makes it float after a couple days, but does not produce this gas (or way less) in such cold water...

That is sad, can you imagine what the family is going through, waiting for him to be recovered and put to rest, properly. My heart goes out to the family.

This morning, Laurent's wife told the media that she is still looking for him whit friends. It seem's that Laurent was going about 60MPH when the accident happened. Some one told me that Laurent's daugther told the police that one of the drives had broken...if you look at the picture of the boat on the trailer, you will see a broken horizontal bar that relays the drives...

Thanks for the information. Praying that they find him for the family, soon.

We just went through the same situation. Please don't give up searching. After 5 days, the river gave Pat Reiter back to us. Believe me, I feel your pain and please accept my deepest condolences.

hey nancy !!
 

hey nancy,
it's isabelle, sylvain mathieu's wife, from marina BO-BI-NO
we were very sad to hear the news of the accident and the research you did after... we hope everyday to hear that Laurent came back to you and your family...
it's so weird to think that he won't be there next summer for the poker runs, we had so much fun all of us together...
he certainly won't be forgotten...
hope to hear from you soon,
love, isabelle xxx

good to see some local new comer to this site! I hope more join the club. it is probably the only place where we can follow what is happening with this lost... many guys around here are asking me if I heard anymore ''good'' news about Laurent research, and unfortunatly, there are not too many places to keep us informed... So please mme target, feed this tread with any info when you have any, so we can all know what's going on, help if ever we can, and let everyone else know not if, but WHEN Laurent is found back.

our best toughts are with you again...

Laurent Lemay was found
 

Hello, this is Laurent's daughter. My dad's body was found on April 24th, well they guess it's his body. They found his wallet in his pockets so it should be. He will soon be identified with certainty. :(

I'm glad that your family will be able to have closure to this sad event...

My thoughts and prayers go out to all...

God Speed Laurent Lemay....

So very sad for your loss. I do hope this will help with the healing process, and closure.


Darrell.

Tres desoler...

good to hear he was found. I'll pass the word around. Can you let us know when will be, if there are any of course, funeral and stuff like that?

I'm sure many would like to attend.

nos meilleures pensees sont avec vous encore...

So sorry for your loss. I am so happy to hear he was found so his family and friends can have the closure they need. God Bless.

Nancy! So glad to hear that Laurent has been found and can now be put to rest. Please accept my Condolences and Prayers to you and your family and friends of Laurent. May he RIP!

Nancy,
At last, you and your family will be able to have final closure to this sad event. Condolences and Prayers to you all from everyone at Poker Runs America.
Laurent will be missed.

Hey, it's me again. Thx for the links 25 hors la loi. I will keep you guys informed if there are further developments, and I will tell you where and when my father's ashes will be exposed when I know it. The identification is not 100% certain but it will be in about 2 weeks I guess. Also, I want you to know that Laurent was seriously injured after the accident, and I think that even with a floating device he wouldn't be alive. My father didn't want to put me at risk and I'm sure he thought he knew what he was doing that day (I was on the boat with him). But what happens when you drive those boats is out of your hands. I understand the thrill of driving them and I was really excited that day to go with my dad. Just remember to always live this day as if it was your last day, even more than everyone else.

Good Post Anne-Marie

God Bless
My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family, Anne-Marie.
