In a release, police said they found the child, who was visiting the Canaan, N.S., area with their family, dead at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday.

“The ATV the child was driving was found in a ditch along Plymouth Gentian Road in Gavelton,” police said.

At about 11:25 p.m. on Saturday, Yarmouth Rural RCMP said they responded to a missing child report, after being notified that a child had left a residence earlier in the evening for an ATV ride and hadn’t returned.

Police said an investigation, assisted by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service, is ongoing.

“Our thoughts are with the child’s family at this difficult time,” police said.

In an email, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall said the child was driving a 90cc “youth” ATV. They were wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
