Suspicious deaths in Dartmouth

Police are exploring the circumstances surrounding two sudden deaths that occurred early this morning in Dartmouth.

At approximately 8:37 a.m. on January 27, officers responded to Marilyn Drive to assist EHS with a medical-related emergency. A man and a woman, believed to be in their fifties, were pronounced deceased at the scene. The residence is a duplex and the neighbours were evacuated as a precaution.

At this time, there is no evidence to suggest foul play and it may be accidental, however, it is early in the investigation.

Tens of thousands still without power

Tens of thousands of NB Power customers still don’t have electricity after Wednesday’s ice storm.

The utility has over 270 crews working all out to replace broken poles and string lines back up that were torn down by the thick coating of ice. But it will be days before they get to everybody.

Warming centres have been set up. You can check locations and times they’re open on the government and E-M-O websites. Besides warming up you can also charge cellphones.
