Saskatoon and Calgary police have confirmed the body is not that of Pelletier.

Pelletier’s sister in Saskatoon had posted a message on her Facebook around 2 p.m. Wednesday saying her brother had made contact with the family but had still not been found.

Pelletier was last seen in Saskatoon early Friday morning and failed to turn up for work at Royal University Hospital on the weekend.

He had left his basement suite with only his keys, leaving the door unlocked, lights on and his phone there.

Police in both cities continue to investigate Pelletier’s disappearance.
