Summary

Just hours before Verdun Beach in Montreal was set to open for summer, a tragic drowning claimed the life of a young man around 20 years old while he swam outside the designated safe zone. Despite recent safety upgrades and a new water safety campaign, the incident underscores the deadly risks of the water — even in popular spots. A frantic search followed, and while foul play is ruled out, the coroner’s office is investigating. The beach’s opening now casts a somber shadow over what should have been a joyful summer start.
