A sad ending to a missing persons case last month in Mackenzie.

A body discovered Aug. 20 at a boat launch outside the community of Chetwynd has been identified as that of Andrew Santos.

The 30-year-old was the centre of an investigation in early August after family reported he hadn't shown up for his mother's birthday Aug. 4.

The last time he was seen was three days earlier.

RCMP in both Mackenzie and Chetwynd continue to investigate both his disappearance and the discovery of his body.

No cause of death was given.

Anyone with information on this case is being asked to contact authorities in Chetwynd at (250) 788-9221 or (250) 997-3228 in Mackenzie.
