A musician in a local heavy metal band and a six-year-old girl who loved dressing up like a princess have been identified as two of the victims who died during a torrential rainstorm last weekend in rural Nova Scotia.

Nicholas Anthony Holland, 52, of Windsor, N.S., was the bassist in Hogtooth and father of two children.
