CALGARY — What should have been business as usual in the Netherlands turned tragic this weekend, as a missing Shell Canada employee has turned up dead.
Barry Maguire, a general manager of design engineering for Shell, was found by the sea early Sunday.
A spokesman for the company confirmed Sunday evening Maguire of Calgary who had died while on a business trip.
He had been reported missing Thursday.
“We understand from the police in the Netherlands that the body of the employee, who previously had been reported missing, was found earlier (Sunday),” spokesman Stephen Doolan said.
“The indication so far from the police is they’re considering it an accidental death by drowning.”
But investigation into the death is ongoing, noted Doolan, and Shell is working with the authorities.
Canada Foreign Affairs is aware of the tragedy.
“Canadian consular officials are monitoring this case and are in contact with Dutch authorities,” spokesman Aliya Mawani said. “We stand ready to provide consular assistance.”
Mawani said her department cannot comment further as a matter of privacy.
Doolan said Maguire’s family has been notified and it has been a very stressful weekend, with the company now focused on doing all it can for those affected by the tragic turn of events.
“We’re doing all we can in an otherwise very difficult time,” he said, noting the company is reaching out to the family to offer them any support they need.
“We’re (also) providing support to staff and will have various support resources internally available in the coming weeks.”
It has been reported Maguire leaves behind a wife and two children.
Doolan couldn’t verify any personal information about Maguire, or how long he had been with the company.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
