RCMP in New Brunswick are investigating the drowning of a 53-year-old man.

Police say Jean Guy Maillet of Saint-Thomas-de-Kent went to check lobster traps in the Northumberland Strait around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
However, Maillet failed to return home.
His family reported him missing around 8 p.m. and police officers and members of the Canadian Coast Guard Search and Rescue launched a search for Maillet.
They discovered his capsized boat around 1 a.m. Thursday, roughly 500 metres from Cocagne Island.
A search and rescue helicopter eventually spotted Maillet’s body in the strait, roughly three kilometres from where his boat had been found.
His body was recovered around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
