GRANVILLE CENTRE, N.S. – Nova Scotia RCMP say they believe alcohol was a factor in the deaths of two men whose boat sank in the Annapolis River in Granville Centre.
Police say they launched a search operation on Monday after a four-metre vessel had gone down with four people on board.
When they arrived on scene the Mounties discovered that a 46-year-old Granville Centre man and a 27-year-old Weymouth man had safely made it to shore.
Officials then deployed three fire services search boats, a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and a C-130 Hercules fixed-wing aircraft to assist in the search.
A short time later a 49-year-old Granville Centre man was found by a search boat and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The remains of a 26-year-old Granville Centre man were recovered around midnight.
