Underwater Search Underway for Missing Boater at Heart Lake Conservation Area

Police say a woman survived and a man died after the canoe capsized, and investigators are treating the incident as suspicious.

  • Peel Regional Police are investigating a death after a canoe capsized on Saturday night at the closed Heart Lake Conservation Area in Brampton, prompting an overnight search-and-rescue operation.
  • Spokesperson Tyler Bell said emergency crews arrived around 9:30 p.m. Saturday and pulled a woman in her 30s from the water, but were unable to locate the man, also in his 30s, until an underwater recovery team found his body Sunday just after 1 p.m.
  • Neither boater wore life jackets in approximately 5 C water, and the conservation area was closed, meaning nobody should have been on the lake at the time.
  • Police are treating the incident as suspicious, with Bell stating, "Some things are just not completely lining up," as 22 Division conducts the probe.
  • A coroner's report expected Monday will determine the cause of death, while police investigate the relationship between the two and work to rule out foul play.
