Members of the Coast Guard searched the waters of Lake Ontario off Cobourg beach after a person along the beach reported that they saw a person in the water beyond the lighthouse on Sunday, June 9, 2019 shortly after 6 p.m.
Members of the Coast Guard cutter Cape Rescue searched the area and after speaking with the witness believe it was what’s known as a “dead head” or a large piece of wood floating in the water with two large branches that may have been mistaken for a person in the water.
As a result of the record water levels in Lake Ontario there is much more debris in the water from the erosion of the shoreline.
