R-C-M-P in northern Alberta are investigating after two men were found dead in an ice fishing tent.

Police say they were called on Saturday afternoon to a remote area of Crow Lake Provincial Park after the bodies were found. R-C-M-P say one man was a 45-year-old from Fort McMurray, Alberta, and the other was a 37-year-old from Labrador City in Newfoundland and Labrador.

They say preliminary investigation suggests they died from carbon monoxide poisoning that resulted from a heating source used inside the tent.
