Two men are dead, one man is missing and a young boy was rescued following three separate incidents at Bluffer's Park in Scarborough on Saturday evening, Toronto police say. 

Police investigating suspicious death

The first incident happened around 5:21 p.m. on Saturday.

Toronto police said they received a call about something floating in the water of Lake Ontario at Bluffer's Park.

According to Const. David Hopkinson, when officers arrived on scene, they found a man without vital signs in the water about 500 metres from the park's marina. 

The man was later pronounced dead. Police are investigating how he died and haven't released his identity.

Boy rescued from water 

Two hours later, around 7:25 p.m., Hopkinson said two men rescued a young boy from the water. 

The two men sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Toronto Fire Services and Toronto paramedics were on scene to assist, police say. 

1 brother dead, the other missing 

While Toronto Fire was assisting with the rescue, Hopkinson said two other men were seen requiring assistance in the water nearby. 

One man was located and taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries. 

The other man, the victim's brother, has not yet been located.

Hopkinson said the Toronto Police Marine Unit abandoned the search on Saturday night but continued it on Sunday morning. 

"Now we have daylight, it will be much easier to search," he said.

"It will be better conditions under which to try to find this missing man."
