The helicopter belonging to Roy, aged 55, was found 15 days later near Lake Valtrie, along with the bodies of the victims.
Roy was the founder and owner of Les Serres Sagami Inc., a company that produces greenhouse-grown tomatoes and other produce under the Savoura and Sagami brands.
Founded in 1995, the company has nine production sites and its produce is sold in the largest food chains in the country as well as in the United States.
In 2000, the company took on the name Sagami after acquiring the Sagami greenhouse in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. In 2011, the company then became established in Sainte-Sophie in the Laurentians and began producing organic tomatoes.
