Three men are dead after two separate boating incidents in Nova Scotia this week.

The most recent incident happened at roughly 4:45 p.m. on Canada Day, as emergency crews, along with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, responded to a report that people were ejected from a boat on Aylesford Lake.

Mounties said five men were on the boat when two passengers were thrown from the vessel as surface conditions of the water changed.

A 70-year-old from Aylesford was found in the water by another boater nearby and later pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the search for the other missing passenger, a 58-year-old man from Aylesford, continued into Thursday. In an update around 3:30 p.m., the RCMP said the second man had been found and was deceased.
