Officials with the London Police Service say a three-day-long search and rescue in the Thames River near Greenway Park has concluded without a successful recovery.
Emergency crews responded to the scene around 8:20 a.m. on Saturday following reports that a man had entered the river near Wharncliffe Road South and Oxford Street, police said.
“Officers attended the area, and witnessed an individual submerged in the water,” police said in a statement Wednesday. “Rescue efforts were immediately started.”
In addition to London police and fire, efforts to locate the individual included the OPP’s Underwater Search and Recovery Unit and Aviation Services.
