Verdun Beach refreshing in this Heat............but Be Careful
The waters have claimed it's 2nd life as the body of a young man has been recovered.
Here is the Montreal Gazette story in today's paper.
Montreal police say they believe they have found the body of a young man who disappeared from Verdun beach Monday afternoon, the second death at the popular beach this month. Police spokesperson Const. Véronique Dubuque said searchers found the body of a young man who matches the description of a person who had been seen in the water at the beach. She said he was pronounced dead at the scene. The man has not been identified, but he was around 20-years-old, Dubuque said. The death is believed to be accidental, she said. “The coroner’s office will take over to establish the exact circumstances surrounding this young man’s death.” Police, Montreal firefighters, the Coast Guard and a nautical unit from Longueuil began searching for the young man after he was reported missing from the beach around 4 p.m. This is the second drowning at the beach, on the St. Lawrence River near LaSalle Blvd. and de l’Église St. in the Verdun borough, this month. A 20-year-old swimmer went missing on June 7, his body was found last week. A 22-year-old man drowned at the beach in September. This story was originally published June 23, 2025 at 7:51 PM.
