The Toronto Police Marine Unit and the Canadian Coast Guard were continuing to look on Monday for a man in his 20s in Lake Ontario east of Bluffer’s Park in Scarborough after he fell off his jet ski Sunday night at around 9:15 p.m.
Cops say the man was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the water, but his female passenger was, and she was able to be rescued with the help of another jet ski operator.
Apparently, neither the man nor the woman on the jet ski who ended up in the lake were strong swimmers, according to information received by police.
“We just met with the family,” Duty Insp. Lhawang Jongdong told reporters on Monday morning.
“Obviously, at this moment, the family is fairly devastated right now but they are obviously optimistic and hopeful that we will find him soon
