MONTAGUE, P.E.I. - Justin McCarthy accepted his twin brother's Montague Regional High School graduation certificate from principal Seana Evans-Renaud to a standing ovation at the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre on Thursday.
Justin's brother Brodie McCarthy died on May 13 in Moncton following a rugby injury two days earlier during a game in Summerside.
Justin played on the same team as his brother and accompanied Brodie to the Prince County Hospital before Brodie was transferred to Moncton for a surgery that was ultimately unsuccessful.
