The body of a snowmobile missing from a lake in southern Ontario has been recovered by divers.
Ontario Provincial Police say in a news release that the remains of the 59-year-old Scarborough man were found Monday afternoon in Six Mile Lake by members of their underwater search and recovery unit with assistance from the Georgian Bay Township Fire Department.
A second motorcyclist rescued from the lake Sunday, who police say is 58 years old and from Toronto, remains in hospital.
Police said they were contacted at 10:45 a.m. Sunday by a cottager who saw two people in the water on Six Mile Lake in the town of Georgian Bay, more than 150 kilometers north of Toronto.
Police arrived at the scene with fire crews, they said, and paramedics took over rescue efforts from local residents.
Police say they are still investigating.
