A woman who went missing on the Ottawa River near Pembroke, Ont. while kayaking Tuesday night has been found dead, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). She was found Saturday at around 1 p.
m. The search started Wednesday morning. The OPP and its Underwater Search and Recovery Unit (USRU) and Sûreté du Québec marine units continued to search for the 30-year-old woman, focusing on a stretch of the Ottawa River between Beckett and Morrison islands, which locals say is a dangerous spot.
"It can be a quite snaky and it's very rocky. And it all depends on what the water level is like," said Marc Robillard. "You don't go down there with boats.
I mean you could ride a kayak, if you’re an experienced kayaker, I’d imagine." The woman went out in a two-person kayak that had capsized Tuesday night near the the Highway-148 bridge to Allumette Island. The woman and a 34-year-old man were not wearing life jackets at the time the kayak capsized.
The man was rescued by police, with the assistance of residents in the area.
