A 17-year-old male is in critical condition after being pulled from a pond on a property south of Mt. Forest, Ont.
Emergency crews were called to a home on Concession 7 in Wellington North Township around 3:45 p.m. Thursday.
OPP say the male resident was found submerged in a pond on the property.
He was transported to a local hospital before being transferred to Hamilton where police say he remains in critical condition.
The incident happened the same day as a man drowned in Lake Huron, just off the beach at the Pinery Provincial Park near Grand Bend.
Bystanders pulled the man from the water and performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews.
He was identified on Friday as 27-year-old Matthew James Boniface of Ingersoll, Ont.
Lambton County OPP say he had been swimming back from a sand bar with friends when he was overcome by fatigue and became unable to make it back to shore.
