Remains found at lake northeast of Halifax confirmed to be missing boater
A body located last month at a lake northeast of Halifax has been confirmed to be a boater who went missing in April. RCMP received a report on April 10 about a capsized boat on Cousins Lake. Two men had been in the four-metre boat when it struck something in the water. A 53-year-old man swam to shore and called for help at 3:25 p.m., but a search failed to find the other boater, a 58-year-old man from Truro, RCMP say. RCMP say the man's loved ones went to the lake on May 4 and found human remains, which were later confirmed by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service to be the missing boater. The man's death is not believed to be suspicious, police say.
