Huron County OPP say a woman who was pulled from the water near the Goderich pier has died.
Around 11:50 a.m. Wednesday, emergency crews and the Canadian Coast Guard were called to the Goderich pier for a report of an unconcious person in the water.
"The individual was located by the Canadian Coast Guard and transported to the Goderich Hospital where they were pronounced deceased after extensive life-saving efforts by emergency responders and hospital staff," police said in a media release issued Wednesday night. "Officers investigated to find out more information about this individual's identity. Some time later, a family member reported their loved one missing and the deceased individual was identified as a 66-year-old female from Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Township."
