The family of a missing Calgary senior is thanking the community for their support after learning his remains have been located.
Kelly Flock, 68, was last seen at a restaurant in the 2700 block of 34 Avenue S.W. on Thursday, June 22.
On Friday, police announced a body found in southwest Calgary on Thursday had been identified as Flock.
The body was found in the late evening near Flock’s home. His death is not considered suspicious.

His family had offered a $10,000 reward to help find Flock.
In a news release, the Calgary Police Service thanked the public for their help searching for Flock and extended their condolences to his family and friends.
