In a news release Friday, police say Parks Canada contacted the RCMP and the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre on Wednesday at around 3:15 p.m. AT after the vessel was discovered. The medical examiner is still working to positively identify the individuals, police said, but next of kin have been notified.
"There was no signs of distress and their planned route had them arriving in the Azores on the second of July," said Hickey.
