Bracebridge OPP were called just 1 p.m. today, July 2nd, to attend a possible drowning in Arnolds Bay near Moon Basin Marina after members of the public saw a man having difficulty near a dock and slip under water. Efforts were made to locate him while awaiting assistance.
Responding officers, along with Muskoka Paramedic, Moose Deer Point Fire Department, the OPP Marine Unit and the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit (USRU) attended and began their search of the water.
At 4:25 p.m. the OPP USRU recovered the body of 61 year-old Errol Knight of Caledon and unfortunately life-saving efforts were unsuccessful.
