The story from the search on Francois Lake has changed.

It was originally believed by searchers that a body, found deep underwater, was that of missing Lakes District man Syd Neville.

The body was located by sophisticated sonar equipment late last week and over the weekend, a recovery team brought the person to the surface from a depth of about 170 metres (570 feet).

It was not Neville.

The BC Coroners Service has not disclosed yet whom the deceased person actually is, but the sonar team has confirmed they will continue looking for Neville who disappeared below stormy Francois Lake waves on June 7.
