HALIFAX – The Mounties in Nova Scotia have identified one of two deceased sailors whose remains were found earlier this month in a small boat that had washed ashore on Sable Island.
RCMP Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay says in a statement the remains of a 70-year-old man from British Columbia had been identified with the help of the medical examiner’s office.
But the officer says the man’s name will not be released because of federal privacy laws.
The statement says the man had set sail from Halifax harbour on June 11 aboard a sailboat known as Theros.
On July 10, his remains were found in a smaller boat, along with the remains of a woman who the RCMP had initially said was a 60-year-old from British Columbia.
Guillaume’s statement says the woman was actually 54 years old.
As well, the officer says the deaths are not believed to be suspicious and that the RCMP are continuing their investigation.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 22, 2024.
