A body discovered in West Âé¶čAV Saturday has been positively identified and the RCMP have now handed the investigation over to the BC Coroners Service.
On Aug. 12 just before 11 a.m., RCMP responded to the 3200 block of Cougar Road after being informed of the discovery of a deceased individual in a wooded area alongside MacDougall Creek in West Âé¶čAV.
âRCMP can confirm that the deceased male has now been positively identified, by the BC Coroners Service, as missing youth, Jake Fehr,â said Cpl. Jesse OâDonaghey, in a press release.
