Tornado Victim Found

Provincial police say the body of a third man killed in a freak storm in northwestern Ontario has been recovered.

Divers with the Ontario Provincial Police underwater search and recovery unit located the body of 66-year-old Dennis Kinkaid just after seven last night.

The bodies of his friends - 65-year-old Bernie Jackson and 78-year-old Stan Hollis - were pulled from the water Friday.

All three men are from Ponca City, Oklahoma.

The trio was picked up by a tornado that swept through a hunting and fishing resort Thursday on Lac Seul.

The men were at the Fisherman's Cove Resort in Ear Falls when their cabin was ripped from its foundation and tossed into the lake almost a kilometre away.

Five other guests at the lodge, being identified as being from the Minneapolis and Wisconsin areas, suffered minor injuries after the tornado ripped apart their cabin.
