Lijun Su, 57, of Toronto, was last heard from on the morning of January 27, 2024, when he travelled to Denny’s Dam on the Saugeen River to go fishing. Eyewitnesses reported a sudden four-foot surge of water and ice from an upstream ice jam that swept through the area and carried several people into the river; others escaped and were hospitalized, but Su was not seen again. His vehicle was later found abandoned nearby.

Saugeen Shores Police led an immediate search joined by the OPP Underwater Search and Recovery Unit and Emergency Response Team, with aviation, drones and community volunteers scouring shorelines for months without success. Human remains found on the shoreline near a seasonal cottage on the Saugeen First Nation on November 15, 2025, were DNA-identified on January 13, 2026, as Su’s, closing the missing-person inquiry.

Was anyone in the area that morning who noticed unusual river conditions or movement on the shoreline that could add detail to the timeline?
