    Co-ordinator Shawn Street says members can only get involved in a search when asked by agencies such as police, Parks Canada or NL Health Services.

    About 20 members of the Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue team sprang into action on Wednesday to help find a missing Corner Brook man.  The 43-year-old had been missing since Sunday and was last seen in the Griffin Drive area. BOISAR Co-ordinator Shawn Street says they set up a command post in Curling and started searching around 10:20 Wednesday morning. Later in the day, a member showed up with a drone. Street says members can only get involved in a search when asked by agencies such as police, Parks Canada or NL Health Services. BOISAR members located the man’s body just after 5:30 p.m on Wednesday.
