Body of Missing Youth Found in Clyde River

Search crews in Clyde River have recovered the body of a boy who had been missing for more than a week, according to the community’s mayor.

Youth Went Missing After Falling From Makeshift Raft

The incident occurred on August 6, when two youths were floating on separate makeshift rafts in Clyde River. According to an earlier statement from the RCMP, the current carried both youths farther out into the bay.

During the incident, one of the youths fell from his raft into the water and failed to resurface. Police previously confirmed that neither youth was wearing a life jacket at the time.

Body Found Across the Bay

Clyde River Mayor Liemikie Palluq said Friday morning that searchers located the missing boy’s body at approximately 5 p.m. on Thursday.

According to Palluq, officers discovered the body on the opposite side of the bay from the location where the boy originally entered the water.

The recovery came after search efforts had continued for more than a week following the August 6 incident.

The search for the missing Clyde River boy has ended after his body was recovered across the bay more than a week after he disappeared.

The incident began when strong currents carried two youths on makeshift rafts farther into the water, with one falling in and not resurfacing.
