A body pulled from a river in Thunder Bay, Ont., was that of a 15 year-old Aboriginal youth who had been missing since February.
Thunder Bay news website Netnewsledger.com reported that local police identified the body as Jordan Wabasse.
Netnewsledger reported that preliminary autopsy results indicated the cause of death was drowning and that foul play is not suspected.
The northern Ontario city has seen seven young Aboriginal people die or disappear since 2000.
Boaters on the Kaministiquia River found the body near an area where the hat of the missing teen was found late last month.
Wabasse was last seen on Feb. 7 and was reported missing the next day.
He was from Webequie First Nation.
