A tragic incident unfolded over the weekend in the northern Ontario community of Temiskaming Shores, where one individual was found dead and another remains missing after falling through the ice. This alarming event occurred at Pete’s Dam Park on Sunday afternoon, prompting a large-scale search effort by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) teams, including emergency response and underwater search units.
The OPP reported the grim discovery of one body, but efforts continue to locate the second missing person. Local authorities have urged the public to steer clear of the area as investigations persist. In addition to the OPP, the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service have joined the inquiry to piece together the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate event. Community members are reminded to exercise extreme caution on ice as conditions can be dangerously unpredictable during this time of year.
