It’s a tragic end to a frantic search that spanned two provinces. Officials have confirmed the death of Veronique Bourque, who had been reported missing after she was last seen around 5pm Monday in Petawawa. The Fort Coulonge woman, who was believed to be driving home, was found unconscious in her car in the ditch off Highway 148 on L’Isle-aux-Allumettes. She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead. According to the Ottawa Citizen, the Surete Du Quebec believe it was a single vehicle crash that claimed her life.
