Investigators said David McCullum, 39, last spoke with his family Thursday morning.

On Saturday, police said they had found McCullum’s body, but said criminality is not suspected in his death.

“We extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time,” said Upper Fraser Valley RCMP Sgt. Krista Vrolyk in a media release.

Police said Thursday that McCullum was believed to be in the possession of firearms, and that officers were concerned for his well-being.

Police had initially descended on Chilliwack’s Columbia Valley area in large numbers, including a helicopter and an Emergency Response Team.

Investigators said an intensive search of the area revealed no sign of McCullum.
