“FINAL ACT WRITTEN IN SOREL TRAGEDY,” Montreal Gazette. January 14, 1933. Page 10. ---- Bodies of Joseph Salvas and His Son Recovered From River ---- DIVER HAS HARD TIME ==== Given First Aid After Hour Below Surface - Jury Returns Verdict of Accidental Deaths ---- (Special to The Gazette.) Sorel, Que., January 13. The final act of the tragedy of Thursday, January 5 last, when a motor car and its three occupants crashed through the ice and sank in the ship channel of the St. Lawrence River here, was enacted today with the recovery, of the bodies of Joseph Salvas, former mayor of Berthierville, and his six-year-old sou, Jean Paul Salvas. The father's body was found in a sitting position at the wheel, with that of his son resting with the head on his father's shoulder. 

The difficult task of removing the two bodies from the sunken automobile and bringing them up to the surface of the ice bridge of the river, commenced at ten o'clock and terminated shortly before one o'clock this afternoon. The body of the child was recovered by Diver Nazaire Gauthier, Jr., but when the latter returned to the bottom of the ship channel he remained there for an hour endeavoring to recover the second body. He then had to abandon the task and managed with great difficulty to reach his companions on the surface, exhausted and bleeding profusely from the nose. 

Diver Gauthier had found the legs entangled in the gear shift of the automobile and during his long sojourn under water, and it proved a hard job to pull the body from Its position and haul it Into the rear section of the sunken car. Then, exhausted, the diver closed the door of the vehicle to prevent the body being removed by the force of the current. He then came up to the surface where he was given first aid, at the same time instructing his companion Raoul Laforest, veteran diver, in regard to the exact position of the body. Within fifteen minutes the latter dived into the channel and recovered the body of Joseph Salvas. Both bodies were hauled to the surface with the aid of a rope. 

The bodies were taken to the Power House of the Government Shipyards, at St. Joseph de Sorel, where an inquest took place by a jury under Dr. Hormisdas Dupre, nf St. Robert, coroner of the Richelieu district. Albert Magnan presided over the jury and the in quest was very brief. 

The body of Antonio Comeau, 51 years of age, resident of Joliette, former employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, for nearly a score of years, widely-known between Montreal and Quebec and father of nine children, which had been recovered yesterday, was identified by J. O. Comeau, a conductor in the employ of the Montreal Tramway Company, a brother of the victim. J. B. Salvas, if St. Robert, identified the bodies of Joseph Salvas and Jean Paul Salvas, his six-year-old son. 

ONE WITNESS HEARD. The only witness heard was Philias Godin, clerk at the Government Shipyards. Witness testified that he had seen the four-door sedan automobile pass near him, on the way between Sorel and Berthier. I was standing on the shore," witness testified, "and followed the motor car with my eyes as It drove away. Suddenly I saw it crash through the ice and vanish rapidly Into the waters of the channel. I then notified several persons of the tragedy. 

The coroner expressed the opinion that It was not necessary to hear any additional witnesses, under the circumstances, and the case was disposed of with a verdict of "accidental death by submersion without attaching any blame to anyone."

It was learned that the squad of some thirty men and divers who have been working at the dangerous and complicated task of recovering the bodies during the last ten days, set a steel rope around the sunken vehicle with a floating buoy attached at the top end of the rope. These men worked under orders of Captain Aussant, and Arthur Laprade, of the Government Shipyards. It was not decided today whether the sunken motor car would be salvaged or not.

Police seize dozens of 3D-printed handguns and accessories in raids across Canada

The Montreal police (SPVM) squad tasked with investigating firearms trafficking (EILTA) spearheaded a Canada-wide operation that resulted in the seizure of hundreds of weapons, including 3D-printed guns.

More than 20 police forces across the country conducted 64 searches and arrested 45 suspects on Monday.

Police say it's very hard to trace 3D-printed firearms because there are no serial numbers, making it more difficult to know where the weapon came from, who bought it and what it was used for.

Police did say the weapons are being built locally.

"We're not having people from different countries coming into Canada to build guns," said chief inspector Benoit Dube. "It's really Canadians doing that. They have the advantage of printing 3D off the net and buying all of their stuff. It's really Canadians building guns... Those 3D guns are crime guns."

Police seized the following in the raids:

62 handguns

71 3D-printed handguns

Two 3D-printed longuns

One machine pistol

52 3D printers

32 3D-printed magazines

87 silencers (63 of them were 3D-printed)

176 3D-printed firearm bodies

The 19 searches in Quebec were in Montreal, Berthierville, New Carlisle, Pont-Rouge, Repentigny, Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Sainte-Angèle-de-Monnoir, Gatineau, Saint-Calixte, Quebec City and Saint-Alexandre-d'Iberville.

According to Dube, "this operation demonstrates how Canadian police organizations are joining forces to combat the emerging phenomenon of homemade firearms."

"The phenomenon is interprovincial and does not stop at borders, nor does our cooperation and our desire to ensure the safety of our populations," he said.

The federal gun control bill, C-21, is in its second reading in the Senate. The bill would make it illegal to possess, distribute or publish blueprints for 3D guns.

Other searches took place in Ontario, Alberta, BC, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

In addition to SPVM officers, the weapons squad includes Surete du Quebec (SQ), RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency officers.

“SUNKEN CAR SEEN IN BED OF RIVER,” Montreal Gazette. January 12, 1933. Page 3. --- Diver Unable, However, to Ascertain If Bodies Are Inside === TRAGEDY NOW WEEK OLD ---- Piercing of Diver's Glove at Sorel Causes Numbing of Hand and Inability to Stay Below ---- (Special to The Gazette.) Sorel, Que., January 11. - Dragging the bed of the ship channel in the St. Lawrence River here with the aid of a steel rope, a squad of some, thirty men under Captain Aussaut and Arthur Laprade today located the motor car in which three persons lost their lives by drowning while travelling across the ice bridge of the river last Thursday. Following a trip of exploration where the four-door sedan automobile lay at a depth of fifty feet of water. Diver Nazaire Gauthier returned this afternoon to report that the sunken vehicle is overturned on the driver's side, at a spot situated 150 feet from the hole made by the automobile when it crashed with its three occupants through the ice of the river. Owing to unexpected difficulties, the diver could not as certain this afternoon whether the bodies of the three victims are still in the automobile, but the dcors of the vehicle were found closed. 

When Diver Gauthier endeavored to open the doors of the car at the bottom of the channel shortly after four o'clock this afternoon, one of the gloves of his diving apparatus was punctured with the result that the diver's hand almost froze. Owing to this the veteran diver had to abandon the search for the bodies this afternoon, but operations will be resumed tomorrow morning. 

The steel rope hsd previously dragged the bed of the river in the shape of an b and covering an atea approximately 200 feet by 700 feet. 

When the position of the sunken vehicle was located Diver Raoul Laforrest made a preliminary, but futile effort to reach it, and Diver Gauthier later went down but also experienced difficulties. The latter, however, managed to reach the automobile, which stood overturned approximately seven feet from the 165-foot diver's ladder. 

When Gauthier returned he was found to be suffering from total numbness of the fingers on account of the defect which had developed in his divers suit. 

A large crowd endeavored to go near the scene today, but owing to the constant dangers involved, they were kept away by a squad of men under Chief Albert Guay, head of the local police department.

Diver Nazaire Gauthier expressed the opinion this evening that the recovery of the bodies of Joseph Salvas, former mayor of Berthierville, his 6-year-old son. and Antonio Cumeau, of Jollette, will most likely take place this morning. The diver said he believed that the bodies were still in the sunken car although he could not see them owing to the total absence of visibility at the present time in the bed of the river. A special hook will be used bv the diver in the morning.

I was also in pain after finishing the gilles biography. The last line was like a punch in the chest. Honestly, whenever I read a book about the history of motorsport, I know that there's going to be a part where I need to put the book down for a moment and regroup.

- taffyvontrips

totally. somehow I didn't really understand before the book just how much he was loved?? I mean, I did, but reading abt how he was so famous and the star of every race and he was just this small man...from berthierville...who raced because he really loved it and then died in turmoil. and everybody loved him! even the reporters who accused him of "mindless hooliganism" (still not over that). and everybody still loves him to this day.

salut gilles, you made me cry.
