The body of a man, now confirmed to be a missing mushroom picker, has been found in the Fostall area of Nakusp.
71-year-old Kyung Chun has not been seen since September 14, and wasn’t discovered missing until September 19. His van was found stuck in the mud down a logging road a couple of kilometres from camp.
Sgt. Darryl Little with the Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment said on Saturday an RCMP dog handler searching in the Fostall area found a hat, which is believed to belong to Chun.
On Sunday, with Nakusp Search and Rescue and the RCMP Police Service Dogs, police found a man’s body in the bush. This discovery was made about 40 meters into the bush, and three kilometres down a road bisecting the road where hunters originally reported finding the van stuck in the mud.
Little said there were no obvious signs of trauma to the body and foul play is not suspected.
The BC Coroners Service has now concluded that Mr. Chun died of natural causes.
