Thunder Bay police are investigating a sudden death after a body was found in the Kaministiquia River on Saturday.
Police were dispatched to the zero-to-100 block of Simpson Street, near Kaministiquia River Heritage Park, just after 10 a.m. Saturday following reports of what appeared to be a body in the water.

THUNDER BAY – A city official said more than 33,000 litres of water had to be pumped out of the 116-year-old James Whalen tubgoat.
Cory Halvoren, manager of parks and open spaces for the City of Thunder Bay, on Thursday said there’s still work to do to ensure the vessel is ship shape, noting some water still remains on board and crews have yet to figure out how it flowed inside.
A passerby on Wednesday noticed the tugboat, which has moored at a dock at the Kaministiquia River Heritage Park since 1992, had started sinking into the water. He noted its rear section dipping lower and lower beneath the water line.
