Two people passed away during the blaze while the other two people on the boat were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The BC coroners service is launching an investigation into the deaths. The cause of the fire is currently unknown but the RCMP has not found any evidence that suggests the fire was intentional or suspicious.
More information may be released as it becomes available.
