Canadian authorities announced on Friday that a body discovered in the St. Lawrence River this month is connected to an investigation into the deaths of eight migrants. The deceased individual has been identified as Casey Oakes, a 30-year-old local resident who had been missing since March, according to the Akwesasne police. Oakes’ boat was found near the bodies of the eight migrants who tragically lost their lives while attempting to cross into the United States illegally through the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory. This region spans across provincial and international boundaries, encompassing parts of Quebec, Ontario, and New York state.
The bodies of these migrants, hailing from Romania and India, were retrieved from the St. Lawrence River in Akwesasne, approximately 80 miles southwest of Montreal, between March 30 and 31. Akwesasne Mohawk Territory holds a reputation for being a hotspot for contraband trafficking and human smuggling due to its strategic location.
