A 31-year old American has apparently drowned while trying to get into Canada illegally. Chad Lamphear tried to get into Canada at the border crossing last weekend, but was denied entry and returned to Calais, Maine, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told the AP on Thursday.

CBC:

An American who tried to cross into Canada last weekend appears to have drowned in the St. Croix River in New Brunswick.

A body found floating in the river near the St. Stephen, N.B., border crossing has been identified as that of Chad Lamphear, 31, of Tennessee.

Police believe he was trying to get into Canada illegally by swimming across the river. There was no evidence of foul play.

An autopsy will be performed Friday at the regional hospital in Saint John to determine the exact cause of death.
