Although the investigation is still in the early stages, police believe the men died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from a heat source being used inside the tent.

Their names have not been released but police said the victims are a 45-year-old from Fort McMurray and a 37-year-old from Labrador City, N.L.

Crow Lake Provincial Park is located near Wandering River, approximately 270 kilometres north of Edmonton.
