Bodies Of Two Missing Fishermen Found

The bodies of two fishermen who went missing after their boat capsized off the northeast coast have been recovered.

RCMP Constable Scott Messier says the bodies of a 35-year-old man and a 32-year-old man were found yesterday afternoon. A third man, who was 23-year-old, was found on Saturday, eight hours after the three lobster fishermen sent out a distress call. 


All three were found five kilometres offshore of Tabusintac, near the location of the boat when it hit a sandbar in rough waters and started taking in water. Messier says the RCMP investigation is now wrapping up.
