Police found his body after he fell through the ice and into Lake Ontario in the Lagoon Rd. and Centre Island Pkwy. area at around 9 a.m.

Police say ice can break and put you at serious risk of falling into freezing water.

PortsToronto also echoed those warnings to the public.

“A friendly reminder: While ice may form within the Harbour, it is never safe to walk or skate on,” the agency wrote on social media.

“Stay safe this winter — avoid walking on the ice and exercise caution near the water’s edge.”
