Police are investigating after one person was found dead at Puslinch Lake.

Emergency crews were first called to the lake late Monday morning in response to the discovery of an empty boat floating in the water.

Crews were then flagged down by a bystander who reported seeing a body floating in the water, face-down. The body was located and brought to shore.

“We’re still trying to locate next of kin,” Wellington County OPP Const. Marylou Schwindt told CTV News.

“Until that’s done, we won’t be identifying who they are.”

The man pulled from the water was wearing a life-jacket, witnesses said.
