Search efforts are underway as Ontario Provincial Police continue efforts to locate a Londoner who went missing earlier this week after swimming in Lake Erie.
Emergency crews first responded to a marine incident on Thursday around 3:48 p.m.
According to investigators, an operator of a 25-foot sailboat reported that a passenger went missing after going for a swim near Port Stanley, Central Elgin.
Const. Brett Phair provided a description of the missing individual to Global News on Friday morning.
“They’re being identified as a 64-year-old white man of London with an average build,” he said. “He was last seen wearing blue and green swim trunks.”
Few other details have been released, but Elgin County OPP say they’re assisting the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, Canadian Coast Guard and Central Elgin Fire Department in a search for the missing individual.
