NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Grand Bahama police have confirmed that the body of the male, who reportedly went missing yesterday in Grand Bahama, has been found in the Freetown area near the old missile base.

According to preliminary reports, two (2) male relatives went on a fishing expedition along the coastline of Gold Rock Creek.

Both men separated around 7:00 a.m. and had planned to return at the separation point at 9:30 a.m. However, as the tide rose and water conditions worsened, only one male returned to the separation point, authorities said.

Authorities reported the discovery of the lifeless body of the missing male shortly before 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
