(Updated) The brother of Jarett Scholl, a boater who disappeared during a fishing trip last week, confirms that his body has been found.

However Niagara Regional Police are waiting for the results of an autopsy today before confirming that the body pulled from Lake Ontario last night was Scholl’s.

It was spotted by three men fishing near the Beacon Harbourside yacht club in Lincoln. Beacon Harbourside is not far west of Charles Daley Park, where a fishing boat belonging to Scholl was found last Thursday evening with the motor still running.

Scholl had taken his boat from Grimsby to go fishing earlier that morning.

On Facebook, Brett Scholl posted:
