Ontario Provincial Police have determined that alcohol and speed were "definite factors" in a crash that killed three young men in Muskoka, Ont., last week.
Cory Mintz, 20, Tyler Mulcahy, 20, and Kourosh Totonchian, 19, died after the car they were driving in burst through a guardrail and struck a tree before ending up on its side in the Joseph River.
An autopsy confirmed that all three drowned.
The three had been visiting Mintz's mother's cottage and decided to have a late lunch at a restaurant on Lake Joseph.
The restaurant's regional director says they stayed for two or three hours and "did have a drink with lunch."
Nastasia Elzinga, 19, survived the crash.
