This morning, the OPP’s Underwater Search and Rescue Unit have recovered the body of a 72 year old Windsor man in the French River.

Police say they responded last night to a report of a possible drowning near French River.

The Nipissing West OPP investigation revealed a person was swimming near the dock, at the cottage they were renting, and within a couple minutes, the swimmer could not be located.

The OPP Marine Unit and the OPP Aviation Services-Helicopter Section attended the scene to assist with the search but were unsuccessful in locating the missing person.

A post mortem examination of the deceased is scheduled.

Foul play is not suspected.
