Records from the late megastar's divorce from Testolini were unsealed Friday, Jan. 13, 2017, by a judge's order. The Minneapolis Star Tribune went to court to unseal the files, which show Testolini said the couple threw lavish parties after major awards shows. The couple's divorce was granted in 2007.

The province’s Special Investigations Unit says the body of a 20 year old man who went missing Tuesday in Lake Nipissing has been recovered.

An OPP dive team recovered the body yesterday afternoon.

A post-mortem will take place, but further details aren’t yet known.

The SIU says after a single vehicle collision in the area of Jett Avenue on Tuesday, both people in the vehicle fled on foot, with the male driver heading towards Lake Nipissing.

They say when police, fire services and EMS arrived on scene, the man entered the lake and swam further from shore despite requests for him to get out of the water.
