A person has died after falling through the ice in Prince Edward County.
Shortly before 4 p.m. on Friday, January 14, Prince Edward County OPP responded to a call about a missing person who may have been walking their dog on the ice.
The East Region Emergency Response Team, Canine Unit and Prince Edward County Fire responded to County Road 20 in Hillier Ward.
A search discovered the person deceased in the water.
The OPP are reminding people that while the ice may look tempting for ice fishing, skating, walking or other activities, PLEASE do not trust the ice. The temperatures have been erratic this winter and much of the ice is not thick enough to safely support people. Don’t put your own life, and the lives of first responders at risk.
