Police say the 24-year-old drowned after his kayak overturned on Saturday
Police are investigating after a man died in a drowning incident in Wasaga Beach, Ont., a town about 20 kilometres northwest of Barrie.
Ontario Provincial Police say emergency services responded to a residence on River Road East in Wasaga Beach at approximately 1:05 p.m. after reports of a missing kayaker.
They say a 24-year-old man from Toronto had been kayaking with two others when their boat overturned.
The Wasaga Beach Fire Department located the man and started resuscitation efforts before he was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead.
Police have not released the man's identity out of respect for his family.
In an unrelated incident, a three-year-old also drowned on Saturday in Long Sault, Ont., about 100 kilometres southeast of Ottawa.
