From Global News.

Friends and colleagues of a Calgary man are in mourning after the man drowned while on vacation in Jamaica earlier this week.

Local police say the incident happened Tuesday morning, just off the coast of Negril, a popular resort town on the far west side of the island nation.

Investigators tell Global News that the boat that 68-year-old Jean D’Amour was in, along with two other people, capsized when it was overwhelmed with heavy waves.

All three of them were pulled from the water. The two others survived, but D’Amour was pronounced dead after being taken to a nearby medical centre.
