Body of suspected homicide victim Miguel Mack located, family says
Miguel Mack is seen in a handout image from the Merritt RCMP.
The body of a missing man from Merritt, B.C., has been located, more than two years after his disappearance, according to his family.
The discovery of Miguel Mack's remains also comes one year after investigators revealed they believe the young man was the victim of a homicide.
The update was shared late Monday night by Elijah Mack-Stirling, the deceased's brother.
'This is not the outcome any of us had hoped for,' Mack-Stirling wrote on social media. 'Please keep our family in your thoughts as we navigate this unimaginable loss.'
The RCMP's Southeast District Major Crime Unit has not confirmed the discovery of Mack's body, but told CTV News it would be providing an update on the case soon.
Mack was last seen alive on Feb. 27, 2023, and his family reported him missing days later.
A large-scale search was launched in the Merritt area involving volunteers, police dogs and drones, but turned up no sign of the missing man.
On the first anniversary of his disappearance, RCMP said they believe Mack met with foul play.
