Police were joined by a conservation officer on a boat patrol and they headed to the area where witnesses had reported the kayaker in distress.

As officers arrived at the base of Sturgeon Falls, entering Nutamik Lake they found the body of a 59 yer old man from Keewatin, Ontario in the water.

Police say he was wearing a lifejacket and there are no signs of foul play.
