After a 24-hour search effort, Sudbury authorities have confirmed the discovery of a 26-year-old man’s body in Crowley Lake following a canoe accident. Emergency personnel, including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, were deployed to the lake on Thursday afternoon after receiving the distress call around 3:45 p.m. The man’s body was located on Friday at approximately 3 p.m. To respect the privacy of his family, law enforcement has chosen not to disclose his identity.

According to reports, a canoe carrying three individuals overturned on the lake, leading to the rescue of two people by kayakers. First responders, including officers aided by a K-9 unit, conducted a thorough search of the area both on foot and from the air using a drone and an Ontario Provincial Police helicopter.
