The body was located northeast from where the bodies of eight people were found in a marshy area of the St. Lawrence River last March
Since then, Akwesasne police have been searching for a 30-year-old local man, Casey Oakes, who was last seen operating the boat that was later found next to the bodies of the two migrant families.
Police said Monday the body was found around 2 p.m. that day near Ross Island and that they were awaiting confirmation of the person’s identity by the coroner. Authorities describe Akwesasne, about 130 kilometres southwest of Montreal, as a popular spot for human smuggling due to its geography, which straddles the borders between Quebec, Ontario and New York state.
