The body of a 25-year-old American man has been found after a canoe carrying six people capsized in northwestern Ontario last week, police say.
Five people were found after the boat overturned on Saganagons Lake in Quetico Provincial Park, located about 163 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, on June 5.
Ontario Provincial Police and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry responded to the call and spent several days searching.
The body of Grant Smith from Indianapolis, Indiana was located by the OPP underwater search and recovery unit just before 4 p.m. June 9, police said.
A section of the park that was closed for the investigation has been reopened.
The park reported "more windy weather" on social media June 6 and said the water is "still relatively cold," advising visitors to wear a lifejacket and paddle to their skill and comfort level.
