Richard Pitre:  The Times Transcript (Moncton, NB), Wednesday, 6 September 2000:  Beresford -  A 66-year-old Beresford man drowned in a river behind his home Sunday after falling down an embankment leading to the river.  Beresford-Nigadoo-Petit-Rocher-Pointe-Verte Regional Police said the body of Richard Pitre was found by a family member who went looking after not finding him at home Sunday afternoon.  Pitre was in about one metre (three feet) of water in the Millstream River, at the base of the embankment.  An autopsy conducted yesterday in Bathurst confirmed drowning as cause of death, police reported.  It may be that Pitre lost his balance or suffered a dizzy spell and fell down the embankment, said a police spokesman.  Further analysis in the laboratory may help explain what happened.  Beresford is just north of Bathurst.
