More possible victims of a case of suspected food poisoning at a prominent hotel have come forward.

A provincial government spokeswoman said two more reports came in on Friday after an article was published in the Free Press.

It brings the official total to 17 people who have complained they got sick after eating at a buffet at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre at 1808 Wellington Ave., last weekend.

However, the Free Press heard from others who got sick but didn’t report it.

Riverton residents were in a state of shock Wednesday after Mounties discovered human remains inside the trunk of a car in the community.

RCMP confirmed Wednesday human remains were found Tuesday at a property on Central Avenue SE. Chad Johnson, deputy reeve of the Rural Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton, said it was his understanding the body was found inside a vehicle.

“There was some suspicion that there was a body in the car — in the trunk — and at that time, everything was cordoned off (with) police tape and police blocked that whole area off,” said Johnson, noting he was told the body was “wrapped up.”

Located about 130 kilometres north of Winnipeg and home to about 500 people, Johnson said he believes the discovery of the body is an “isolated incident” and that there is no risk to public safety.
