Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Jun, 2016 12:22 PM

BATHURST, N.B. — Police say two fishermen have died and another man was taken to hospital today after a fishing boat capsized off the shore of a community in northern New Brunswick.

The RCMP says the incident occurred early Thursday morning off the Miller Brook wharf near Salmon Beach, about 11 kilometres from downtown Bathurst.

Sgt. Benoit Jolette says the bodies of a 45-year-old Bathurst man and a 67-year-old man from Salmon Beach have been recovered.

He says a 47-year-old Salmon Beach man was rescued and taken to hospital with hypothermia.

Jolette says it appears the fishing gear was snared at the bottom of the bay and a wave overturned the boat.
