Lake Simcoe drowning victim identified

INNISFIL, Ont. -- South Simcoe police are looking to speak with anyone who witnessed an incident on Lake Simcoe that led to the death of a 59-year-old Alliston, Ont., man.

Police say the man and his wife were fishing on the lake late Wednesday afternoon when their canoe capsized in rough conditions, dumping both of them into the water.

The woman was rescued by a passing boater, but her husband could not be found.

Investigators say the body of the man -- who was not wearing a life jacket -- has been recovered from the bottom of the lake.

Police say the coroner has determined that the man suffered a medical emergency that caused him to fall out of the canoe and into the water.

The man has been identified as Claudio Righetti.
