Around 10:30 a.m. emergency crews were called to the scene south of the Trent-Severn Waterway Lock 10 on the Trent River at Hagues Reach.

The area is about seven kilometres south of Campbellford, or 50 kilometres southeast of Peterborough.

A coroner attended the scene and the body has been transported to Kingston for a post-mortem examination, OPP stated Monday.
