The body of a missing Florida man has been found on Lake of the Woods.
On Saturday, the Kenora OPP was advised of a missing person in the Obabikon Bay area of Lake of the Woods.
The missing man was identified as 68-year-old Bill Amason, a resident of Florida who lived seasonally in Morson.
It’s believed he may have tried to swim to his boat after it drifted away.
A search of the shorelines and area was conducted by family and friends before the Kenora OPP Marine Unit was called in.
The OPP’s Underwater Search and Recovery Unit then was mobilized and began to search the area on Tuesday.
The body of Amason was located yesterday by the Kenora OPP Marine Unit in the water close to his last known location.
A post-mortem examination was scheduled for today at Lake of the Woods District Hospital in Kenora.
