RCMP say the body of a 59-year-old man, who had been fishing in Bonavista Bay, was recovered this week.
RCMP were called around 5:30 Tuesday afternoon that a fishing boat, full of water, had washed up on the shore in Sweet Bay.
The boat belonged to a man who had gone fishing earlier in the day, but who had failed to return as scheduled. Winds were high at the time.
The man’s body was recovered from the waters of Sweet Bay yesterday.
The Chief Medical Examiner’s office is part of the ongoing investigation.
