This morning, the Surete du Quebec resumed its search for a man who didn't surface while swimming in the Soulanges Canal near Pointe-des-Cascades-- a municipality near Vaudreuil.

Shortly after, divers located the man's body in the water of the canal. 

The 37-year-old was swimming with a friend in the locks of the canal. First reports indicate that the man jumped into the water and surfaced temporarily before sinking. 

Police were called to the scene at around 6:30 p.m.

The search and rescue team stopped their search at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and divers were back in the water Sunday morning.

Police divers were assisted by the Coast Guard and fire department. 

A spokesperson for the SQ said that swimming is not allowed in that area. The locks make for turbulent water, but there is only one sign cautioning passerby against swimming in the area. Even so, many people decide to do it anyway -- some say that they're not entirely surprised there's been another fatality on the canal.

"Another one-- just another one," one person told CTV Montreal. Another explained that this has happened "several times before."

Just last year, a 24-year-old man from Pierrefonds drowned in the canal under similar circumstances.

In 2004, a 15-year-old-boy jumped into the waters of the Soulanges Canal, surfaced briefly, and then went under. 

In 1999, 24-year-old Steve Lecuyer died in the same spot after fudging a dive into the water and somehow snapping his neck. 

The canal is a known hotspot for danger: in fact, four other deaths at the canal preceeded Lecuyers-- a total of seven deaths in the spot since the late 1970's. 

The fire department says that it's a popular hangout for people to spend their days jumping in and out of the water. Some people who frequent the area often even installed ropes to help swimmers pull themselves out of the water.

But that doesn't quell the risk of drowning. Some passerby believe 

The fire department says the best officials can do is to continue to get the word out-- but many say they should be doing more. 

Residents expressed that the onus should be on both the police and the fire department to enforce stricter rules and keep people out of danger near the locks. 

According to statistics from the Lifesaving Society, 63 people died from drowning in Quebec in 2015.
