Old Story Republished: According to the RCMP, three men’s bodies were found at a mudslide close to Lillooet, British Columbia, after search operations this week.
According to a written statement released on Saturday by B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe, one deceased person was recovered on Wednesday and two others were discovered on Thursday.
In an effort to find a fourth man who was reported missing, the search continued on Friday, but she said the efforts were unsuccessful.
The first confirmed death from the devastating flooding and landslides that occurred throughout the southern half of the province last weekend, partly due to heavy rain, was a woman whose body was also recovered from the slide site on Monday.
