Missing Garden Hill First Nation man found dead: RCMP

A Garden Hill First Nation man who was reported missing Tuesday has been found dead, say Manitoba RCMP.

Wesley Wood, 30, was last seen walking down a trail in the northeast Manitoba community on Oct. 31, during a snowstorm.

Police were concerned for his well-being, as he wasn’t dressed for the elements and wasn’t known to be out of touch with family and friends.

RCMP said local searchers found Wood’s body in a wooded area of Garden Hill Sunday night.

The death doesn’t appear to be suspicious, but RCMP Major Crime Services continue to investigate.
