The body of a Shopify executive who went missing seven months ago has been recovered in a pond in the city's east end.

Ottawa police say human remains were located in the water of the Rockcliffe Pond in the area of Sir George Etienne Cartier Parkway and C.H. Airport-Marina Road on Saturday afternoon. The remains were recovered by the Marine, Dive and Trails Unit.

Police say a forensic identification process confirmed Wednesday the remains are those of Brett O'Grady, 35, who has been missing since last October.

Investigators have concluded that foul play is not suspected in O'Grady's death.
