2 dead after possible drowning northeast of Peterborough: OPP
Two men in their 20s are dead after a possible drowning just northeast of Peterborough, Ont., on Sunday, provincial police say. Peterborough police responded to a call just before 5 p.m. that two people had gone missing in the water at Burleigh Falls in Stony Lake, about 30 kilometres from Peterborough, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said in a news release on Monday. The two people had been reportedly swimming in the area when one fell from the shoreline and appeared to be in distress, police said. Others in the area went into the water to help, but that resulted in a second person going missing. Peterborough police and fire rescue crews searched the water and surrounding area Sunday, but did not find the two missing persons, the OPP said. On Monday, the OPP's underwater search and recovery unit located and recovered their bodies. A Caledon man, 24, and Brampton man, 26, were pronounced dead, police said. Police did not provide more information about the victims in the release.
