Police say first responders pulled the body of a 59-year-old man from the water off Newfoundland’s Bonavista Peninsula on Tuesday, after he didn’t return home from a fishing trip.
RCMP were notified just after 5:30 p.m. about a small fishing boat that had washed up on shore in Sweet Bay, N.L., about 240 kilometres northwest of St. John’s by highway.
The boat belonged to a man who had gone fishing earlier that morning and had not returned home.
The Mounties say they notified the Canadian Coast Guard’s maritime rescue sub-centre about the missing man.
RCMP Cpl. Jolene Garland says the coast guard dispatched a local vessel to begin looking for him, adding that his body was found at around 7 p.m.
An RCMP news release says the Mounties have contacted the provincial office of the chief medical examiner, and the investigation into the man’s death is ongoing.
