Police are investigating after a body was discovered in St. John’s Harbour early Saturday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the bottom of the harbour, near the Oceanex terminal and Harbour Drive, shortly before 9:00 a.m. after receiving reports of a person in the water. Fast rescue craft from several vessels and from the Canadian Coast Guard were also summoned. Once located and removed from the water, the deceased individual was taken by boat to the offshore supply vessel Atlantic Heron, onto which paramedics with Eastern Health and officers with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary were seen boarding.
