The Greater Sudbury Police Service revealed that firefighters, paramedics, and police officers were mobilized to the lake on Thursday afternoon, shortly after 3:45 p.m. The man was located approximately 24 hours later on Friday at 3 p.m. To safeguard the privacy of the deceased’s family, law enforcement has opted not to disclose his identity.
Upon receiving reports that a canoe carrying three individuals had capsized on the lake, two individuals were safely rescued by kayakers, while the third individual remained missing. A search effort ensued, with officers conducting a ground search aided by the K-9 unit, as well as aerial searches utilizing a drone and an Ontario Provincial Police helicopter.
