Police on Humber Thursday morning |
A tragically familiar tale is being played out on the Humber River this morning as police search for a young man who went into the swollen waters yesterday evening to try to resuce his dog. In the event, the animal, a Pug, rescued itself but the man has not been seen since. Today, search crews are on the Humber in inflatable Zodiac rescue boats poking around rocks and parts of the shoreline in a sad mission to find a body. The search by Toronto firefighters and police officers was suspended because of darkness Wednesday night, almost four hours after the man, who is in his 20s, disappeared in the river near Lawrence Avenue West and Weston Road.
