A teenage boy who was found dead on Friday after getting caught in a storm drain at a Toronto park during an overnight downpour has been identified as a Grade 10 student at Upper Canada College (UCC).
In a letter to parents on Tuesday, UCC principal Sam McKinney confirmed that the victim of the incident at Earl Bales Park in North York was a student at the all-boys private school.
Officials say they received a call just before 1:30 a.m. on Friday that two teens had had been caught in a storm drain at the park, located off Bathurst Street, south of Sheppard Avenue West, amid an overnight downpour. Ishida was found dead hours later, about half a kilometre from where he exited the system, officials said.
