A doctor at Rand Memorial Hospital has confirmed the death of a young man who disappeared on a jet ski Friday evening.
The body of the 17-year-old Freeport resident was found in shallow waters off Grand Bahama early Saturday morning after an extensive search by BASRA, Defense Force, Bahamas Police and concerned residents.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was last seen by a watersports operator who said the young man had left the Lucaya area for Williams Town at around 6:00pm on Friday.
Back in Nassau, authorities are still searching for a man who disappeared following a boating accident near Prince George Wharf on Friday night.
Police said the man was on a 17-ft vessel with a 19-year-old woman when he lost control and crashed into a pier. The boat sank, the woman swam to safety but the man who had been driving the boat disappeared.
It is believed that the man, who is in his 20s, is an officer in the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Investigations continue.
