A youth from Sandy Bay has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
RCMP say 19 year-old Jared Phillip Merasty was found unresponsive in the community on Monday and was taken to hospital.
He later dies of his injuries.
Yesterday, RCMP say they arrested a youth in connection to Merasty’s death and charged him with murder.
The accused cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
He will remain in custody until an appearance in Pelican Narrows Provincial Court through video on Thursday.
RCMP along with Major Crimes continue to investigate the incident.
