DUBAI,
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES—A newspaper in the United Arab Emirates says two
Canadians, one of them a Toronto boxer, were killed after their rented Ferrari
struck a pole and was split in two.
The
National newspaper says two others also died in the crash, which happened early
Sunday local time.
It
says one of the Canadians has been identified as Cody Nixon of Toronto and the
other is believed to be his cousin.
The
Motor City Boxing Club in Oshawa, Ont., posted a tribute to Nixon on its
Facebook page, saying he had died “while vacationing overseas.”
A
spokeswoman for Global Affairs Canada confirmed two Canadians had died in the
United Arab Emirates but said no further details could be released due to
privacy concerns.
Rachna
Mishra said in an email that consular officials are in touch with local
authorities and providing assistance to the families of the deceased.
It's
with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to Cody "C-4" Nixon. Cody lost
his life yesterday while vacationing overseas. RIP Cody.
