A man reported missing on Vancouver Island over a month ago has been found deceased, according to authorities.
Austin Lloyd was last seen on April 14 and reported missing 10 days later, Mounties said in an earlier statement about the search for the 26-year-old man.
Police confirmed Lloyd’s death in a brief statement Sunday but did not say where or under what circumstances his remains were found.
Various RCMP detachments across northern Vancouver Island, including in Port Hardy, Port McNeill and Alert Bay, were involved in collecting information and following up on tips about Lloyd’s possible whereabouts.
The Port Hardy RCMP is now leading the investigation into Lloyd’s death and anyone with information is urged to call 250-949-6335.
