The cause of the incident is still unknown, though RCMP on scene tell Capital News that criminality is suspected.

Multiple RCMP cruisers remain on scene in the late afternoon as well as the RCMP boat, which was already on the water doing patrols at the time.

The identity of the deceased is unknown at this time, including gender.

The scene remains cordoned off.

More to come.
