This sounds like a very close call.
OPP say a drone was used to help rescue a person off of a lake in Latchford, north of Temagami this week.
On March 8, shortly before 9:30 p.m. Temiskaming OPP officers, a member of the Northeast Traffic Incident Management Enforcement (TIME) unit and the Timiskaming Emergency Medical Service responded to a call involving a "person in crisis" in Latchford.
Shortly after 9:50 p.m. the drone was flown over the lake and a heat signature was detected.
"The officers located the 32-year-old unresponsive individual on Bay Lake," said Constable Jennifer Smith. "The person was not dressed for the weather and was transported to hospital by ambulance to be treated for hypothermia."
The individual was apprehended under the Mental Health Act.
