Man rushed to hospital after water rescue at Binbrook Conservation Area

Hamilton EMS say a man in his 60s without vital signs was taken to hospital Thursday morning by paramedics attempting resuscitative efforts after he was removed from the water at Binbrook Conservation Area.

Police say they were called just before 9:30 a.m. to assist with the medical emergency.

They say a woman in her 50s was also removed from the water and taken to hospital in stable condition. It’s unclear what her injuries are.

The conservation area was closed briefly on Thursday but has since reopened.

This marks the third tragedy this summer at Binbrook Conservation Area.

On July 1, a seven-year-old boy went missing and was found dead in Lake Niapenco, inside the park the following day.

In an unrelated and unsuspicious incident on Canada Day, a 61-year-old Hamilton man died after his kayak capsized at Binbrook Conservation Area.
