At around 3 p.m. on Sunday, officers received a report of a possible drowning at Sandpoint Beach. They were told that two teenagers went swimming, with one going underwater but never coming back up.

The second teenager flagged a nearby boater, who called police for help.

The Windsor Police Marine Unit quickly began a search, getting support from the Coast Guard, Canadian Armed Forces, and Ontario Provincial Police.

The search was stopped in the evening and resumed on Monday.
