Two men have been charged following the death of a teenage boy in a small community northeast of Edmonton.

Alberta RCMP say officers from Smoky Lake responded to a call to help EMS in Goodfish Lake, Alta., about 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 2.

A 16-year-old boy was declared dead at the scene.

Officers with the major crimes unit arrested and charged the two men Friday.

Sean Steinhauer, who is 30, and 32-year-old Ryan Cardinal – both of no fixed address – are each charged with second-degree murder.

Police say the men were remanded into custody after a judicial hearing and are to appear in St. Paul provincial court on Thursday.
