Ottawa police have recovered a second body from the Ottawa River, three days after two fishermen slid into the fast-moving water near the Remic Rapids.
Police water rescue crews using sonar recovered the body of one of the fishermen near Bate Island early Saturday morning and continued to search until 5 a.m. in the hopes of finding the second fisherman. They resumed the search later Saturday using drones and sonar.
On Monday evening, police announced the the search had resulted in the discovery of a second man’s body. Investigators were working to positively identify the victim.
