(TINY TOWNSHIP, ON) – A death investigation is being conducted by members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) after being dispatched to the Deanlea Beach area in Tiny Township at 9:00 p.m. July 13, 2025.
Officers were dispatched after the OPP Communication Centre received a call requesting police and emergency services to attend for an unconscious child that had been pulled from the water.
Tiny Township Fire Services and Simcoe County Paramedic Services upon arrival took over life saving measures from first aiders at the scene and transported the child to an area hospital for medical treatment.

The investigation is continuing into the cause of death which investigators believe to be non-suspicious in nature with a post mortem to be conducted in the near future.
Emergency services personnel wish to thank everyone who assisted at the scene.
