One person has been found deceased and the search for a second person continues after they were seen falling through thin ice.
On December 29 at 3 p.m., Temiskaming OPP received a call for help after reports that two people had gone through the ice at Pete's Dam Park, on Pete's Dam Road in Temiskaming Shores. The riverbank contains a number of hiking trails and flows into Lake Temiskaming.
The OPP is asking the public to avoid the area as their investigation continues in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Coroner and Ontario Forensic Pathology Service.
