On July 19th at approximately 6 PM, 100 Mile House RCMP-GRC was advised of a missing and possibly suicidal person in the 100 Mile House District area. RCMP were involved from the outset, and along with Cariboo Search and Rescue were involved in a search for the adult male the morning of July 20th. A large family and friends’ group had looked for the male overnight in the area around 100 Mile House. There was a large social media presence as a result.
More details emerged in the morning after further investigation resulting in RCMP and SAR searching the area in and around the ski hill. At approximately 1200 hrs, the male was located near the base of the old ski hill deceased. The RCMP is currently supporting the BC Coroner Service with their investigation. Please stay clear of that area until after 6 PM this evening.
The 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment offers their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. If you need help in dealing with this tragic circumstance, please reach out for support. There are a number of local services available to you, including local RCMP Victim Services at 250-395-2456, Peter Skene Ogden Counselling Program for local students, through the Armed Forces Outreach at 1-800-268-7708 for those connected to local military programs or other local counselling services.
