Montreal police recover body of man whose car plunged into river on Sunday

MONTREAL — Montreal police say they’ve recovered the body of the driver of a vehicle that plunged into a river early Sunday morning.

Officers with the force’s nautical unit located the remains of the 20-year-old man on Wednesday while patrolling the banks of a nature park in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough.

They say nothing suggests the death was criminal.

Police had been looking for the driver since they received a 911 call just before 5 a.m. Sunday about a vehicle that drove off the end of St-Hubert street and into the rivière des Prairies.
