Ontario Provincial Police have ended their search for a missing driver. On Sept. 27, an abandoned vehicle was discovered on Ouse Street in Cayuga. Police said they were concerned about the well-being of the owner and launched a search of the surrounding area. The effort included teams on the ground, water and in the air. Haldimand County OPP said the West Region Emergency Response Team (ERT), Haldimand Fire, OPP Marine Unit, OPP Underwater Search Rescue Unit (USUR) and OPP Aviation Services were involved in the “extensive” search, which lasted several days. The 35-year-old was eventually found deceased. “The death is not being treated as suspicious, and no foul play is suspected,” OPP wrote in a media release. They also said no further details would be shared out of respect for the family’s privacy.
