A woman has been found dead, while the search for two missing people remains ongoing, after Kimberley RCMP were alerted by a GPS SOS that three hikers went over Meachen Creek Falls on Monday, Sept. 1.
Kimberley Search and Rescue, Bighorn Helicopters, the RCMP’s Police Dog Services, and the use of a drone were utilized in the search, and located one of the 3 people halfway down the falls.
Her death is not considered suspicious.
Meanwhile, police continue to search for the other missing people and have called on the support of the BC Coroner Service during their investigation.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased,” said Kimberley RCMP.
