An employee from the Ville de Trois-Rivières website confirmed with Daily Hive that authorities were dispatched to Île Saint-Quentin at about 6 pm on Monday to find the boy who supposedly sunk under water.
Police say the boy was at the beach on Monday afternoon with his family and then disappeared soon after.
Île Saint-Quentin, located about 150 km from the island of Montreal, is the conjunction of two rivers, the Saint-Lawrence and Rivière Saint-Maurice.
The boy’s mother and three younger brothers were treated for shock by local social service members.
