The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of a missing Canadian Coast Guard employee has been solved.
RCMP say that the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed that remains found in Placentia Bay on October 19 were those of a crewmember reported missing at sea on September 16.
Coast Guard officials discovered that the veteran member was missing when the icebreaker Vincent Massey docked in St. John’s harbour.
