Police say human remains found in Prince Edward Island in September are those of a teenage boy who fell off a fishing boat in New Brunswick in August.
The RCMP responded to a report that human remains had been found in the water near Skinners Pond, P.E.I., around 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 29, 2022.
At the time, police said it was possible the remains could be connected to the disappearance of 15-year-old Justin Landry.
On Monday, the RCMP confirmed the remains have been positively identified as those of Landry.
The teen was reported lost at sea after he fell off a fishing vessel several kilometres from the wharf in Pointe-Sapin, N.B., on Aug. 29, 2022.
The RCMP, Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, local boaters, the Canadian Coast Guard, a Transport Canada aircraft, RCMP divers and a search-and-rescue helicopter all assisted in the search for Landry last summer.
