Police said they received a call on Sept. 6 at 5:15 p.m. from someone who said a man had fallen into the Fraser River near the 6 Mile fishing grounds off Highway 99 in Lillooet.
Lillooet RCMP said officers spoke to witnesses and learned the man who had fallen in was Randall Alvis Ned.
According to the witnesses, Ned was fishing with a dip net when the current pulled on the dip net and he fell into the water, police said.
A search was launched for Ned, with Lillooet Road Rescue using an aerial drone patrol, the Department of Fisheries conducting a water search by boat and Pemberton Search and Rescue crews called in to search in a helicopter and on the water.
However, Ned could not be located.
