While still not releasing a cause of death, Ontario Provincial Police have identified the person found last week in the waters of Georgian Bay near Parry Sound.

“The deceased has been identified as a 27-year-old from Etobicoke,” police said in a news release Tuesday.

The body was found around 8 a.m. Aug. 8. The OPP’s marine unit responded to a report of personal property being found near Georgian Bay.

That discovery “prompted a search of the nearby water,” police said.

Human remains were located in the water after a search by the OPP underwater search and recovery unit.

A post-mortem will be conducted “at a later time,” police said.
