Tragic end for missing Grimsby man By Katherine Grant NewsNow “Jarett Scholl has been found resting in peace.” This was the Facebook post at about 1 a.m. Wednesday by his brother, Brett, who had worked tirelessly over the past five days to find Jarett. Police were called to the area of the Jordan Harbour near the Beacon Harbourside Yacht Club at about 8 p.m. Tuesday after people out fishing spotted a body in the water. It was a tragic ending to almost a week of uncertainty for the Grimsby man’s family. Jarett, who was 30, took his boat out to do
some fishing last Thursday, June 4, launching it from Grimsby JARETT at about SCHOLL 5:30 a.m. His boat was found about 12 hours later after it ran up on the beach at Charles Daley Park in Lincoln. It wasn’t unusual for Jarett to head out alone said Brett; he could handle the boat, a 15-ft aluminum Legend, on his own. After the boat was found, an immediate search along the shore of Lake Ontario was commenced by
Niagara Regional Police #8 District while a marine search was undertaken by members of the Canadian Coast Guard and members of the Niagara Regional Police Marine Unit. Brett said the police have been very supportive in their efforts to help find Jarett. On Tuesday evening the NRP’s Marine Unit recovered the body from Lake Ontario. The community had rallied in its effort to find Jarett. A Tuesday night search was organized by Brett who had also asked people to walk the area between Charles Daley Park and Victoria Avenue to
search for anything that might help locate his brother. Brett had been concerned Jarett might have been injured and was stranded somewhere in the area where the boat was found. Jarret’s death has been determined to be an accidental drowning, said Sgt. Neal Orlando of 8 District. “This was a very tragic accident but it is good that the family will have some closure,” he added. The day that Jarret went fishing the water temperature was 50 degrees with waves of about a metre in height, according to Environment Canada.
One of his fishing poles was missing, said Orlando. “It appears his line may have snagged or he got a bite and stood up to deal with it and toppled into the water. There was no tether to the kill switch on the motor so the boat would have continued to move away from him,” he said. Brett expressed his gratitude to the community for all the support his family has had and especially for those who stepped in to help in the search efforts. A Go Fund Me account has been set up to help pay funeral costs.
