Police said they believe a body found in Lac-St-Louis on Friday is that of a man who went missing on Tuesday after jumping off his sailboat.

A spokesperson said an autopsy will be required to determine if the body is 40-year-old Pierre Lajeunesse, as well as the cause of death.

Montreal police said they received a call at 4:40 p.m. to inform them a body had been seen floating in the water and that police officers and firefighters conducted an operation to retrieve it.
