Jean-Pierre Brabant, media relations officer for the Montreal police (SPVM), confirmed that the nautical squad and divers returned to the river this morning to conduct search operations, including at least one dive in the area where the incident occurred.
“Searches will get on this morning to try to locate that man,” Brabant said.
On Thursday afternoon, two teens fell through what appeared to be frozen sections of the river near Jacques-Bizard Boulevard, in the L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève borough.
A 17-year-old was rescued and transported to a nearby hospital. He remained conscious during transport, and his condition is stable.
Authorities said the incident appears to have been accidental, and there is no indication of criminal activity.
