First new article in weeks:

CBC.ca News - Chalk River physicist gone without a trace http://www.cbc.ca/m/rich/news/story/2010/03/19/f-cranswick-chalk-river-missing.html

.......The feeling among fellow curlers is that the Ottawa River, on which the town of Deep River is located, will offer some clues once spring arrives.

"If he's in the river, it will be May or June before he's found, but he will be found, because there's heavy boating use in the Ottawa River around here," said Harrison. "The river is a mile wide here, and there isn't much current, so I don't think he will go too far."

While there is no explanation for Cranswick's disappearance, friends say the outcome is certain.

"If he was alive, he would have never disappeared in the first place," said Harrison. "I expect to see his body, but I don't expect to see him alive."

I see that WS has started tracking the male drowning victims - here's one from the 23rd, maybe it's the one they're looking for, and an earlier one from the 20th.

There was also a very small story in the Canadian MSM about a missing male's remains being identified, I don't remember his name, but his family asked for total privacy. I'm unsure where his body was located, and can't find the small article.

It's unclear where in the water the body was found.

The investigation continues. More to come.
