South Korean student missing on Vancouver Island found safe

Nanaimo RCMP say a 24-year-old South Korean man who has been out of contact with his family for six months has now been found safe.

Sungho (Luke) Park was reported missing on Oct. 20 after his father travelled to Nanaimo from South Korea to speak with police.

Park had been enrolled at Vancouver Island University earlier this year, but police said the school has confirmed that he no longer attends the institution.

A police check at a residence where Park had been living in University Heights also failed to locate him.
