Huron County OPP, Huron County Paramedic Services and Bluewater Fire Services responded to a beach front address North of Bayfield around 2:20 p.m. for an incident involving a boater in distress.
When police arrived, firefighters and EMS were performing lifesaving measures on a person who had been brought to shore. Police say the 32-year-old Bluewater resident was pronounced dead at the scene.
While assisting the marine emergency, a 46-year-old volunteer from Bluewater experienced a medical emergency themselves and were taken immediately to the Goderich Hospital where they were later pronounced deceased.
Police say the causes of the both tragic deaths have yet to be determined, but a post-mortem examination has been scheduled for both.
