A man died Thursday in an apparent boating accident on Poison Lake, N.S.
RCMP spokesperson Jennifer Clarke said officers were called at 6:42 p.m. when someone saw an unresponsive man on the water near a boat on the Cumberland County lake.
"Witnesses reported seeing the man in his boat shortly before the 911 call was received," she said. "He was not wearing a life-jacket at the time he was found."
The 78-year-old man, who has not been identified by police, lived in nearby Springhill. Police ruled out foul play.
