The individual went beneath the water and did not resurface,” Ontario Provincial Police said in a press release issued on Thursday. Police said that an “exhaustive search” was conducted for the man but was suspended overnight to await the arrival of the OPP’s Underwater Search and Recovery Unit .He has been identified as a 52-year-old Scarborough man.“Six of those deaths are contributed to a person not properly wearing a PFD,” the press release notes. “Always choose a Canadian approved lifejacket and wear it every time you are out on the water, regardless of whether you are an avid paddler or powerboat enthusiast.
