A businessman drowned while fishing in Tobago on Saturday.
Around 9 a.m. Clint Haynes and three others went fishing at the Giles, via the 22 foot vessel, ‘Chant A Psalm’.
Haynes, 41, and another man were together fishing on some rocks. The man reported that a wave tossed Haynes off the rocks and he fell into the water. One of the men entered the sea to rescue Haynes. He held onto him and they were about 100 feet away from the rocks but Haynes was pulling him under the water and he had to let him go.
They searched for his body but without success. A report was made at the Charlotteville Police Station and a team of divers went in search of the self-employed businessman. His body was retrieved and identified by his common law wife. Haynes’ body was taken to the mortuary where an autopsy is expected to be conducted.
