RCMP in Sutherlands River were called to Park Falls on Friday at 3:36 p.m., where there was report of a man that jumped into the water and was not returning to the surface.

RCMP’s Underwater Recovery Team, local fire departments and EHS were all called to the scene.

Cpl. Andrew Joyce says hours later, around 9 p.m., a 19 year old Pictou Count man was found dead in the waters near the falls by Ground Search and Rescue.

In a release, RCMP said their “thoughts are with the victims’ families and friends at this difficult time.”
