The person was reportedly lying along the Irvine River in the Elora Gorge.
OPP along with Centre Wellington Fire Rescue and Guelph-Wellington Paramedic Services attended the scene.
The individual was pronounced dead at scene, Cunningham said.
“We don’t have any witnesses to what happened, so what the coroner finds out will determine what the investigation will look like,” Cunningham told CTV News.
Cunningham said the body has been removed, and the deceased has yet to be identified.
“There wasn’t anything at scene that made us really suspect anything suspicious was going on,” he said.
