Provincial police say a search has wrapped up after reports of a missing swimmer in Lake Erie.
OPP say two swimmers were reported to be in distress in Port Stanley, on Thursday afternoon.
They say lifeguards and others helped a 19-year-old woman make it back to shore safely and she received medical attention.
But an 18-year-old man failed to return to shore.
After three days of searching, they found the body of William Johnston from London.
Members of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre based in Trenton, Ont., an OPP marine unit, the United States Coast Guard, and Ornge, assisted in the initial search.
