Provincial police are investigating two apparent drowning deaths and the near-drowning of a child over the long holiday weekend.

On Monday afternoon, a man was found unresponsive in the water at a campground in the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock north of Woodstock, Ont.

The unidentified man was without vital signs by the time emergency responders arrived and he was pronounced dead in a local hospital.

The body of a second man believed to have drowned was recovered on Monday from the Sturgeon River in the Municipality of West Nipissing.
