Divers continue search for body
BONFIELD (Staff) — Ontario Provincial Police divers have still not found the body of a 34-year-old angler who collapsed and fell overboard from a small boat Wednesday night.
Divers were on Lake Nosbonsing again Friday searching for Calvin Rich, 34, who was fishing with a friend at about 7:50 pm Wednesday when the incident occurred.
Rich’s friend in the boat tried to find the victim for some time after he fell overboard but there was no sign of him in the water, police were told.
The water is 14 to 22 feet deep in the section of the lake where the man fell in, about half a kilometre from shore near Daytonia Lodge.
The two men were fishing in a 14-foot aluminum boat when the mishap occurred.
Police divers and the marine unit were called in from Orillia to search for the missing man.

Friends found victim's body
Two family friends found the body of Calvin Rich on the surface of Lake Nosbonsing Monday morning, Ontario Provincial Police confirmed Tuesday.
After being notified of the location of the 34-year-old victim from Rutherglen, members of an OPP marine unit went out and recovered the body of Rich, who had fallen out of a fishing boat on the evening of Aug. 28.
The body was found at about 8:30 a.m. Monday in the middle of the lake, in front of Sunnyside Campground, said OPP Constable Darryl Foulkes, lead investigator in the incident.
"The body was recovered, was identified as Calvin Rich and was taken up to the (North Bay) Psychiatric Hospital for a postmortem," he said.
The OPP said foul play is not suspected, but the investigation is continuing.
Police are also awaiting the report of the coroner, and the Centre for Forensic Sciences in Toronto is conducting related tests.
OPP divers searched for Rich on Aug. 29, 30 and 31, with the team diving four times on its final day before being re-dispatched to another emergency elsewhere in the province, Foulkes explained.
Rich fell out of the boat at 7:50 p.m. on Aug. 28, so divers, arriving later, could not begin their search that night due to darkness and poor visibility.
A friend in the boat at the time tried, but failed to save Rich, who was not wearing a life-preserver when he fell overboard.
