A lengthy search for a missing Kamloops man has come to a tragic end.
Police confirmed today that 32-year-old Kyle Ferg, who was reported missing on Nov. 17, 2023, was found dead on Tuesday.
The Kamloops RCMP said the detachment received a report of a body in the Thompson River that was spotted by a helicopter flying above the area.
Kamloops Search and Rescue was called in to assist police in pulling the body from the river, at which point it was confirmed to be Ferg.
Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says the detachment offers its condolences to Ferg’s family and friends, adding that “no criminality is suspected” at this time.
The RCMP did not specify where Ferg’s body was found in the Thompson River, but he was last seen in the Mission Flats area in November.
The BC Coroners Service is now in charge of the investigation.
