Man dies after being rescued from Ottawa River

A man has died after being rescued from the Ottawa River in Ottawa’s west end.

Emergency crews responded to a call just after 10 a.m. for a person “appearing to be in distress” at the Deschenes Rapids.

“The individual was transported to hospital by paramedics in life-threatening condition,” Ottawa police said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa. “They have since been pronounced deceased.”

Ottawa police continue to investigate.

The incident happened in the same area of the Ottawa River where the boat capsized in the Deschenes Rapids last week. A boat remains tied up in the area.
