Three Bodies Recovered After Search For Three Fishermen Off Newfoundland

The Canadian Press, 17 Jun, 2015 12:22 PM
    PLACENTIA BAY, N.L. — Search and rescue crews have recovered the bodies of three crab fishermen from Placentia Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador.
     
    The twitter feed for Joint Task Force Atlantic reported that a third body was pulled from the water this afternoon.
     
    Maj. Martel Thompson of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax says a search began Tuesday night when the men were reported overdue.
     
    He says a family member told officials the fishermen were on a seven-metre open boat and were late returning to Davis Cove, N.L.
     
    Thompson says bad weather made the search more difficult overnight.
     
    Two of the bodies were found this morning.
     
    Thompson says family members of the first two people found have been notified.
     
    A number of aircraft and vessels, including two Cormorant helicopters and a coast guard lifeboat, helped with the search.
