The search for a missing swimmer who was swept downstream in the Annapolis River last week has come to a sad end.
RCMP say the 25-year-old woman, who’s from China, had been swimming in the Annapolis River with another woman on Sept. 11 just before 3 p.m., when both encountered difficulty with the current.
One woman was able to make it safely back to the dock and immediately called 911. The other was swept downstream.
On Thursday, the RCMP said in a release that officers from the Annapolis district, supported by RCMP air services, local fire departments, and volunteers, found her remains on Wednesday.
