A man and woman were taken to hospital  after being pulled out of Humber Bay in one of Toronto Police’s first Lake Ontario rescue of the year.

Members of the force’s Marine Unit are again warning boaters and those riding Sea-Doos to wear properly attached life jackets since the water is still very cold.

The incident occurred 12 p.m. on May 22 after emergency services were called to the Humber Bay Substation to respond to a suspicious incident.

Toronto police said its marine unit was at the scene after reports of an unoccupied Sea-Doo in the water. A man and woman were found and taken to hospital.

Paramedics said they rushed a man to hospital in critical condition. He was transported under an emergency run. The woman was in serious but stable condition.

Police are investigating the incident.

The lake and dock is a popular for police and area boaters in the hot weather.

In July 2022 a man drowned after falling off a tour boat into Lake Ontario near Ontario Place.

Police said the marine unit found him, medics performed CPR, and the man was rushed to hospital.

In August last year a woman was pulled from Lake Ontario near Marie Curtis Park  when the marine unit responded to a call of a body found at the edge of the beach.

Medics performed life-saving measures but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

And in July 2021 the body of a 40-year-old man was found after he went missing while scuba diving at Humber Bay Park marina.

The police responded to a call at about 7:57 p.m. that two men went underwater and one of them didn’t resurface. His body was found the next day.
