The woman has not yet been identified.

“At this time, we are waiting to confirm the identity of the deceased,” Const. Chris Iden told CTV News in an email.

Search teams have been looking for two women who ran into trouble while out on the Grand River Saturday. A witness said the women appeared to be distress, near King Street East and River Road East, at around 9:30 p.m. They haven’t been seen since.
