A body has been recovered near Ontario Place along Toronto’s waterfront, police say.

In a tweet, Toronto police said officers were engaged in a marine rescue in the Stadium Road and Lake Shore Boulevard West area at 4:45 p.m.

Toronto Fire told Global News a crew responded to reports of a body in the water, and said a person was removed from the water.

Police said efforts were being made to identify the person and inform next of kin.

“This is now a coroners investigation,” police said.
