Ottawa police say a body found Monday near the Canadian War Museum is the second of two men who disappeared in the Ottawa River three days earlier.
The two men disappeared while fishing Friday evening near Bate Island.
Search teams and divers were able to locate the body of the first man, who was swept away while fishing near rapids, that same night around midnight.
Neither man's name or age has been released, and police said they'd be waiting until the second man's body was found before sharing that information.
The museum is approximately four kilometres downstream from Bate Island.
