The Owen Sound Police Service says on Thursday around 3:45pm, the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit located the body near the water treatment facility on the east shore of the Owen Sound harbour.

A coroner attended the scene and has ordered an autopsy to be conducted at the London Health Sciences Centre. A date for the post-mortem examination is unknown.
