“At this time, the death is not believed to be suspicious in nature; however; the investigation is ongoing,” police said in a release.
“Our thoughts are with the child’s family at this difficult time.”
The pair were last seen on Ruth Falls Road in Ruth Falls in the Sheet Harbour area around 2 a.m. Saturday, and were believed to be on foot.
Posts on social media indicate the two were mother and child, though police did not say in the release. A spokesperson for the RCMP could not immediately be reached for comment.
