The 30-year-old was the centre of an investigation in early August after family reported he hadn't shown up for his mother's birthday Aug. 4.

The last time he was seen was three days earlier.

RCMP in both Mackenzie and Chetwynd continue to investigate both his disappearance and the discovery of his body.

No cause of death was given.
