SASKATOON – The search for a missing Saskatoon man is over after an autopsy confirmed a body found in the Saskatchewan River near Melfort over the long weekend is that of Gregory ‘Myles’ MacIntosh.
The body was discovered by marine researchers Saturday afternoon near Wapiti regional park, located about 45 kilometres north of Melfort.
An autopsy conducted Tuesday confirmed the remains to be those of MacIntosh, who was a former resident of Lunenburg, N.S.
“We had hoped perhaps it wasn’t him, but yet we’re relieved to know that it is him to begin the healing process and have some closure. Being able to put him to rest and give him a proper burial,”said Wally Kohle, the father of MacIntosh’s fiancée.
MacIntosh, 28, was reported missing on Feb. 2 when he failed to return home from his bachelor party the previous evening.
He was last seen leaving a pub crawl bus early that morning after becoming involved in an altercation.
Blood found on the ice near the South Saskatchewan River was confirmed to be MacIntosh’s through DNA testing.
