A medical examiner has been called in to investigate following a report from the Canadian Coast Guard of a human body in the Halifax Harbour this week.
In a Monday evening news statement, Halifax Regional Police said they responded to the federal agency’s report around 6:30 p.m.
The body has been recovered and there’s “no initial evidence” suggesting the man met with foul play, said the statement.
The force said the man’s body was found near Seaview Park in the city’s north end.
