I am just passing this information along to folks on here. On Canada Day July 1 at around 2PM a diver ran into distress while diving a wreck (Daryaw) in the St Lawrence river west of the city of Brockville. After being brought to the surface the diver was non-responsive and resuitation was not successful. The Ontario Provincial Police have asked than any divers diving in this area keep an eye out for a BCD with the tank and regs attached. If found please recover and contact the OPP, or if not recoverable please contact OPP with location of gear. Finding the gear will help the investigation answer questions as to what occured.
