Alberta RCMP responded to reports of a deceased male at a remote location near the intersection of Highway 22 and Highway 8 Thursday afternoon near Cochrane, Alta.

In a release Saturday, RCMP confirmed they found a body in that area and it appeared the man “had been there for some time” based partially on the winter clothing he was wearing.

RCMP released photos of the clothing Wednesday “in hopes of identifying anyone that may remember seeing him, giving him a ride, or communicating with him during the winter of 2016.”
