Ontario Provincial Police say the bodies of two people have been recovered from Lake Rosseau in central Ontario’s Muskoka region following a boating crash Friday night.

Investigators say with the help of the OPP’s Underwater Search and Recovery Unit, they have been able to confirm the deaths of a 32-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Toronto.

Bracebridge OPP say officers got the call to Lake Rosseau, about 225 kilometers north of Toronto, at around 10:40 p.m., where they found a severely damaged boat resting on a rock ledge.
