TOLEDO, Ohio —
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources spent much of the evening on Sunday searching the Maumee River near downtown Toledo for a man who capsized in a canoe.
ODNR said three people were in the canoe and two were found safe. A police report Monday identified 21-year-old Jesse Babiuch as the man still missing.
Police were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m.
According to ODNR, three people were on a motorized canoe when it overturned.
Despite the long search, which included a helicopter at one point, the search was suspended on Sunday night. Toledo police, Toledo fire, the U.S. Coast Guard and ProMedica Life Flight were all involved in the search.
ODNR says the search will be continued on Monday, weather permitting.
ODNR reminds watercraft users to operate their equipment responsibly, always wear a life jacket and pay close attention to local conditions and posted advisories.
