Second body found along Grand River bank, police end search for missing women

Waterloo regional police say officers are no longer conducting searchers of the Grand River after a second body of a female was found along its banks in Brant County.

Police say they responded to the area of Willow Street in Paris around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday after it was reported a body was spotted in the river.

Regional police and Ontario Provincial Police attended the scene, as well as the Cambridge and Brant County fire departments.

Emergency services confirmed the body was of a dead woman and police say they are working to identify her.

This comes after another female body was recovered along the Grand River in Kitchener on Monday.

Although the identity has not been confirmed of either body found, police say no further search efforts will continue for the previously missing women.

On Saturday evening, police were contacted for a report of two females in distress while boating in the Grand River.

Emergency crews say they observed treacherous water conditions upon arrival and extensive searches followed to find the women.
