The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service said they are investigating after the bodies of six people were found Thursday afternoon in a marsh area near Akwesasne, close to the U.S. border across from New York state.

The force’s marine unit was searching the area with the help of the Coast Guard and the Hogansburg Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department. The Akwesasne Mohawk Police said they will seek help from the Quebec provincial police and Ontario Provincial Police air support units.

Police are waiting on the results of post-mortem and toxicology tests to determine the cause of death and said they are trying to identify the bodies and their status in Canada.
