Tragedy for a couple from the United States yesterday after an incident near the Head Harbour Lighthouse yesterday. RCMP arrived to find a man and a woman who were pulled from the water near the lighthouse and the 62-year old man died a short time later in hospital. Officers say the couple crossed from Campobello Island on foot at low tide to the Head Harbour Lighthouse, not aware that the tide was beginning to rise.
When they left, the walkway was submerged. While trying to get back, the man fell and was swept away by the tide. A nearby boater grabbed both and brought them to shore.
