Shortly before midnight on Friday, August 4th, police received reports that a 46-year-old male had disappeared under water in Castle Harbour, near Frick’s Point and Castle Island.

Other boaters in the area were alerted and several persons responded to assist. The Coast Guard was also contacted and attended the scene.

The man’s lifeless body was recovered shortly before 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 5th, in waters in the area of Frick Point, Tucker’s Point, St. George’s.

Death was subsequently confirmed by an on call physician.
