Body recovered from the Grand River in Kitchener

Waterloo Regional Police said a body has been recovered from the Grand River in Kitchener.

First responders could be seen at Old Mill Road, near Pinnacle Drive, around 8 p.m. Monday.

Search teams have been looking for two women who ran into trouble while out on the water over the weekend. A witness called police around 9:30 p.m. Saturday to report that the women appeared to be distress near King Street East and River Road East. They haven’t been seen since.

Old Mill Road runs along the Grand River, not far from where the women were boating.

Police have not confirmed if the person found was one of the missing women.

“At this time, we are waiting to confirm the identity of the deceased,” Const. Chris Iden told CTV News in an email.

More to come.
