Nanaimo RCMP say a 65 year old man reported missing has been found deceased.
Lionel Cayer had not been seen or heard from since Sunday morning.
Then on Wednesday afternoon investigators located his vehicle at Westwood Lake, which sparked a search.
His body was fund in a wooded area not far from his vehicle.
