The Royal Canadian Navy says a sailor has died in the Bedford Basin after a boat capsized.
The Navy says two sailors were operating a rigid-hull inflatable boat in the Halifax-area bay when it overturned and capsized around 10 p.m. on Friday.
It says a rescue effort by the Joint Rescue and Coordination Centre Halifax dispatched two ships from the Canadian Coast Guard, and pulled both sailors from the water.
The Navy says the sailors were met by paramedics and transferred to a Halifax hospital, but one of the sailors could not be resuscitated.
The second sailor was treated and released from the hospital, and the Military Police are investigating the incident….
