A body has been found in the Ottawa River near the location that a 30-year-old woman was last seen while kayaking.

The body was discovered at about 1 p.m. Saturday, the OPP said in a news release.

The OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit and Quebec police marine units had been searching the river near Pembroke since early Sept. 18 when a double kayak hit rapids and capsized near the Highway 148 bridge to Allumette Island. A 34-year-old man was rescued by police, with assistance from private citizens, but the woman was not located.

The identity of the body had not been confirmed Saturday evening, and police said the investigation continues, with a post-mortem examination to be conducted to determine the cause of death, which is suspected to be drowning.
