Missing hiker found dead in Manning Park

The search for a hiker who went missing in Manning Park has come to a tragic end.

Vancouver police said the remains of Andriy Fendrikov, 52, were found Wednesday near Snass Mountain.

Fendrikov was reported missing earlier this week after he did not show up for work, which is out of character for him.

Vancouver police initially believed he may have ventured into the Elaho Valley, near Squamish, but later confirmed he was seen in Manning Park on Monday.

“This is a tragic ending, and certainly not the outcome we had hoped for,” VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said in a statement.

“Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Andriy Fendrikov, and we’re thankful to everyone who assisted in the search.”
