WINDSOR, N.S. — Nova Scotia RCMP say they believe they have recovered the body of a youth who went missing July 22 during a severe storm.

Police say the province’s medical examiner still needs to positively identify the remains found on Tuesday morning.

They say they recovered the body along the shore in Advocate Harbour, N.S., about 70 kilometres northwest of the area where the youth and three other people went missing in floodwaters.

Police last week recovered the three other bodies, including two six-year-old children.

More coming.
