Officers arrested a 60-year-old man around 10:15 a.m. without incident.
The RCMP says the suspect and victim knew each other and the death is being treated as suspicious.
Local residents say the 10:30 a.m. ferry crossing was cancelled because police needed the ferry around 9 a.m. to bring officers across.
