Missing youth found deceased at Eden Lake

RCMP release:

Update: Youth recovered deceased at Eden Lake

A missing youth who fell into the water at Eden Lake, Pictou County, has been located deceased.

On May 1, at approximately 5:00 p.m., Pictou County District RCMP, fire services and EHS were dispatched to a report of an overturned kayaker on Eden Lake. RCMP officers learned that two youths, known to one another, were paddling on the lake in separate kayaks when one of them overturned, submerging the kayaker.

Pictou County Fire services, Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) teams (Halifax GSAR, Pictou County GSAR, Strait Area GSAR, Colchester GSAR), a Department of Natural Resources helicopter, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), RCMP Air Services, RCMP RPAS (drone) operators, and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT) were involved in the search.

On May 2 at approximately 7:45 pm, URT divers located and recovered the remains of the youth. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service has been engaged. Criminality is not believed to be a factor.

Thank you to the Pictou County community for the support provided for this and other regional searches in recent day.

Our thoughts are with the youth’s family at this difficult time.
