The BC Coroners Service is working to determine the cause of death of a 76-year-old man who went missing last week and was found deceased on Monday.
Ridge Meadows RCMP and the man’s family had issued pleas for help finding him over the weekend, noting that he had underlying health issues, no phone, and little money with him at the time.
The man was first reported missing on Friday after leaving his home on 207A Street near Dewdney Trunk Road around 10 a.m. He was last seen at a gas station in Maple Ridge, B.C.
Search and rescue teams and a helicopter scoured the area over the weekend, and notified CP Rail and Fraser Health of his disappearance.
On Monday, however, police said the man had been found deceased near the border of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. His death is not considered suspicious.
“We offer our sincerest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones,” said Insp. Adam Gander in a Monday news release.
“We also thank the public, community partners and volunteers for their assistance.”
“We are asking the public if they see Mr. Csaszar, to stay with him and please call 911,” Gander said.
“We are also asking Maple Ridge residents to check their backyards and the surrounding green spaces around their homes.”
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.
