A citizen reported to police that they had seen the body in the river shortly after 9 a.m.
Search teams first scoured the river looking for the young girl on May 12.

In the days that followed, police officers and firefighters participated in the search for the teenager. The Surete du Quebec deployed personnel on watercraft, divers, its helicopter and a drone to patrol the area.
An investigation is ongoing to determine how she fell into the water.
