Search and rescue crews were on the water and in the air for the rest of the day and returned Sunday.

Around 2:30 Sunday afternoon, the OPP underwater search and recovery unit and members of the Chatham-Kent and Elgin OPP marine units recovered the victim’s body, identified as Yuriy Zhlobitskyy of Barrie.
