A Toronto man has died after drowning in the Welland River in Niagara Falls over the weekend.

Niagara police responded to the Chippawa Creek area near Front and Norton streets after witnesses reported a man who submerged underwater shortly after 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Police’s marine unit found the 52-year-old man dead around 6 p.m.

Investigators say foul play is not suspected in the man’s death as it was a result of a “swimming accident.”
