    An overdue boater was located dead in Brooklyn over this past weekend. Shortly before 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, (June 22, 2025) Clarenville RCMP received the report from Musgravetown Fire Department of an overdue man who had departed Bloomfield on the evening of Saturday, June 21, in a small boat without a motor and had not returned.  Conditions were windy at the time.

    Musgravetown Fire Department responded to assist in a search, while police engaged the Canadian Coast Guard and Triple Bay Eagles Ground Search and Rescue for assistance.  While searchers were being deployed, the man’s boat was located by local individuals on a shoreline in Brooklyn and the overdue man was located a short distance away, deceased on a beach.  The man was not wearing a life jacket.
