HALIFAX — Rescue officials say they have found the body of a missing crew member who was on a boat that went down early this morning near the mouth of Halifax harbour. Joint Task Force Atlantic said on its Twitter feed that navy divers found the crew member inside the sunken vessel, identified as the service boat Captain Jim. Two other crew were rescued by a local pilot boat after a distress call came in at about 2:15 a.m. indicating the boat suffered a power loss. Maj. Amber Bineau said Hercules and Cormorant helicopters, along with three coast guard vessels, were involved in the search of the area near Eastern Passage. Bineau said the people on board reported losing power, but offered no other information about the cause or events leading up to the emergency.
