Ottawa police and Ottawa paramedics retrieved the body of Rachel Taylor from the Ottawa River near Aylmer Island on Monday afternoon. Rachel Taylor had been missing and submerged  in the Ottawa river since Sunday afternoon when the truck in which she was a passenger plunged through the Ottawa River ice. Lee Bourdon, her boyfriend was with her at the time of the accident  on the Ottawa River the day before.  Lee Bourdon and Rachel Taylor, were returning from Aylmer Island in the middle of the river when suddenly the Ottawa ice under them cracked.  Lee Bourdon,  managed to escape the sinking truck, and was trying to free his trapped girlfriend, but sadly wasn’t successful. Family and friends of Rachel Taylor gathered  together on shore, as rescue workers retrieved her body.  “Thank God,” said family friend, Dave Inglis. Earlier in the day, he said he hoped for the family’s sake that the divers could find Taylor’s body. “It’s horrible. (Bourdon is) broken. He blames himself, but he couldn’t do anything,” said Inglis. “It’s a memory you’re going to hang onto for the rest of your life.” 

Taylor’s mother died 20 years ago and she was the oldest of  3 children who took care on  her younger siblings, who have now lost the only female presence in their lives,”

Jason Meranger, of Aylmer  helped police across the ice. On Sunday, he heard that a truck had gone through the ice and he marked off the area where the vehicle went through the ice. That was not the first time Jason Meranger had helped those in need that day. He also helped a man pull his 4-wheeler out of the water in Luskville. “We were sitting around thinking people should do something about this because someone is going to die,”“Sure enough, here we are. You have to have tragedy before we get ourselves in gear.”
