Missing kayaker found deceased 

The body of a kayaker reported missing on Bugaboo Creek back in June has been located.

Search and Rescue crew located the kayak back in June but had to call off the search due to dangerous and high water.

Columbia Valley RCMP said water levels receded enough that they could conduct a second search.

Crews located the body on Oct. 1. The family of the deceased has been notified.

The investigation has been turned over to the BC Coroner Service.
