A tragic weekend on Lake Erie after a young boy fell into the icy waters Saturday afternoon.
Police say the 9 year old victim and an 8 year old boy were standing on the edge of the ice at Peacock Point, about 30 minutes from Port Dover, when a wave swept both of the boys into the water.
A 10 year old girl who was with them at the time, ran to get help and flagged down a car with a man and woman inside.
They managed to rescue the 8 year old but the 9 year old boy did not resurface.
A search by OPP and the U.S. Coast Guard had to eventually be called off late Saturday because of dangerous conditions.
Police say the search is now a recovery effort.
