Surrey RCMP contacted the Ashcroft RCMP Detachment requesting assistance in locating a missing man on Sept. 16.
A 56-year-old Surrey man was travelling to Quesnel for a hunting trip on Sept. 12, and hadn’t been heard from since.
Ashcroft members were asked to check the Red Hills Rest Stop south of Ashcroft after a possible sighting, but he wasn't located.
His body was found in a small lake five kilometres south of Clinton on Sept. 19. His pickup truck had gone off the road, down an embankment and into a lake, but could not be seen from the highway.
He was spotted by passing cyclists. There was no evidence of foul play.
