British Columbia authorities investigate two separate deaths
The Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating the suspicious death of 70-year-old Robert Patrick Murray. His body was discovered inside a tent near the North Thompson River on October 11. Authorities are seeking information regarding Murray’s recent movements and interactions to assist in the investigation.
In a separate incident in northwest British Columbia, 68-year-old driller John Phillip McLean was found deceased near Ootsa Lake. McLean had been reported missing on September 29. His employer, First Tellurium, stated that his death was the result of an accident near the company’s Deer Horn Property. Police do not consider the death suspicious, and the company has suspended exploration activities at the site for the remainder of the year.
