The OPP‘s Chatham-Kent detachment say officers responded to a report Friday morning of an overturned vessel about 100 metres from the shore of Rondeau Provincial Park.

They say a couple of hours later, at around 11 a.m., firefighters located an unresponsive person on the shoreline of the park who was later pronounced dead.

Police say that upon further investigation they learned that a second person had been in the capsized boat and was missing.

The search for that person is expected to resume Saturday.

Investigators have not yet released any information about the victims.
