HALIFAX – RCMP say one man in Nova Scotia is dead and another is missing after they failed to return from ice fishing Tuesday.
Police say a multi-agency search for the missing man is underway in the area of Belleisle, N.S., about 180 kilometres west of Halifax, near the Annapolis River.
The RCMP say they received a report around 11:30 p.m. that the two men, 73 and 77, had not returned from ice fishing near Little Brook Lane.
Police used remotely piloted aircraft to conduct air searches overnight while local fire services searched in the water.
The deceased man was found this afternoon.
Two local ground search and rescue organizations, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, and the Department of Natural Resources are helping as the search continues for the missing man.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 11, 2026.
