2 men drown after canoe capsizes in Sturgeon Lake, OPP say
Social Sharing Two men have died after their canoe capsized in the Kawartha Lakes area Sunday afternoon, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say. Emergency responders were dispatched to a boat accident on Sturgeon Lake just after 3 p.m., OPP said in a news release on Sunday. They say a canoe was carrying three males, one of whom was able to swim back to shore after the boat flipped. Officers say the other two men could not stay afloat and didn't survive. Police say nobody in the canoe was wearing life-jackets. They warn all people should wear life-jackets or personal floatation devices when boating. "With capsized vessels and falling overboard [being] the top contributing factors in boating deaths every year, a significant number of lives stand to be saved if boaters, personal watercraft users and paddlers wore a lifejacket or personal floatation device," OPP said in the news release.

Behind the tangled cordon, empty beer bottles and takeaway boxes were strewn across the deserted road. In the distance, a forensic officer checked the road surface for evidence. For the sombre-looking family-of-four, it was like waking up from a violent nightmare, hoping it was just a dream. But it wasn't.

He was part of a crowd which surged into a nearby Hooters bar as the car plowed through the celebrating fans just metres away. 'Suddenly, I heard lots of shouting, felt a surge push me and tens of others into the bar, while one guy who had been standing next to me turned and sprinted in the other direction towards what I would later learn was the car,' Mr Todd said. As soon as he heard about the car, Mr Todd said he was 'panicking' about his little sister who had got caught up in the crowd a few metres behind him. 'I saw her falling through a crowd into the bar about twenty seconds later and she burst into tears immediately, the car had only been a few metres away from her,' he added. 'I texted family group chats immediately to let people know there had been some kind of incident but for the moment we were together and safe.' The bar went under lockdown for the next hour, the 25-year-old said, before they were let out through the back doors 'quite shaken up but thankfully all safe'.
