An ATV and a Volkswagen were found in Mississippi Lake, near Ottawa, on Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019.
One person from inside the Volkswagen was taken to hospital with hypothermia. A dead body was later recovered by a police dive team.
“The three occupants from the ATV made it away to another residence,” according to OPP Const. David Bird
“That issue of it not being reported and us not being aware is being investigated,” he added.
Police say they believe the two incidents were not connected.
Local resident Kingsley Hawes said he wasn’t surprised that the vehicles had fallen through.
“There’s no good ice to take vehicles out,” he said.
