Saw this in the local Belleville news, I remember reading a story of a missing boater last October well this is not the best news but here is the article.

 

"Police have confirmed a body found Wednesday on West Lake is that of missing boater Gordon “Sandy” Rutherford of Wellington.

The body was found by another boater and police arrived at the scene at 4:37 p.m., Prince Edward OPP reported.

Rutherford, 54, disappeared while fishing on the lake in October.
