More news is coming to light about a boating accident off Texada Island and how the victim may have sacrificed himself for his partner.

A woman wearing nothing more than a life-jacket and the warm clothing she planned to go fishing with survived for six hours in the frigid waters of the Georgia Strait off British Columbia's coast, RCMP said Monday.

A search has ended and RCMP have taken over the investigation of a fatal boating accident in the northern section of B.C.'s Georgia Strait.
