The RCMP are providing an update on the search for the only person still missing after devastating floods in Nova Scotia.
Search for youth in Brooklyn area was suspended on Monday
RCMP superintendent Sean Auld and Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston will provide an update on the search for a missing youth following historic flooding.
The RCMP say they have recovered a body believed to be that of a missing youth who was traveling in a vehicle when it was swept away and submerged during historic flooding in Nova Scotia.
The RCMP said the body of a youth was found along the shore of Advocate Harbour on Tuesday morning.
“We’re working with the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service to positively identify the remains,” Supt. Sean Auld told a news conference.
“But at this time, we believe they’re those of the youth who was unaccounted for following extreme flood conditions in West Hants.”
Four people, including a man, two children and a youth went missing on July 22 after their vehicles became submerged in floods in the Brooklyn area of West Hants Regional Municipality.
Last week, search teams recovered the bodies of the man and two children, who have been identified as Nicholas Holland, 52, and Natalie Harnish and Colton Sisco, both 6.
On Monday, the search for the missing youth was temporarily suspended to allow the remaining water in the search area to drain.
