BALA, Ont. - A second man has died from injuries he suffered following an incident in Ontario's cottage country on Wednesday in which his brother died.
Ontario provincial police confirm 53-year-old Ghulam Badar of Mississauga, Ont., died in a Barrie, Ont., hospital Thursday night.
Badar was placed on life support after being pulled from fast-moving Bala Falls in the Muskoka region.
He had jumped into the water to rescue his nine-year-old niece along with his brother, 44-year-old Nadim Shah of Chicago.
Shah was pronounced dead at the scene and Badar was presumed dead but was revived after being transported to hospital.
This tragedy followed a triple-drowning just a few days earlier in the nearby Moon Falls area.
The girl, who was wearing a lifejacket and playing in the water, had begun to drift away from shore.
Relatives said the two men soon vanished in the fast-moving water and appeared trapped under a whirlpool.
