Frontenac OPP say two people died while they were boating on eastern Ontario lakes last week.
OPP say a boat capsized on Brule Lake, just north of Plevna, Ont., on Thursday evening. Four people were in the boat, but only three people made it to shore. The provincial police’s aviation unit searched for the missing person but the search was suspended overnight after hours of being unsuccessful, police say.

Sunday, OPP say a boat crashed into a kayak on Little Cranberry Lake, which is part of the Rideau system.
The kayaker was critically injured, and attempts to resuscitate the kayaker were not successful, according to OPP.
The 45-year-old City of Kawartha Lakes resident was pronounced dead at the scene.
Charges have yet to be laid, but police say the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
