A body was located in the North Bentinck Arm area near Bella Coola, said Cpl. Dave Tyreman with North District RCMP media relations Friday.
“A fisherman located a body floating in an estuary and reported it to the Bella Coola RCMP,” Tyreman told the Tribune.
The RCMP are now working with the Coroner to identify the person and can provide no further details at this time, he added.
