Missing Stanley man found dead - RCMP
Christopher Dunham had been missing for months; foul play not suspected, say police
The body of a Stanley man reported as missing to police in June has been found, the RCMP reports, and it doesn’t appear he was the victim of foul play.
The RCMP’s Keswick detachment issued a news release in July advising officers were seeking the public’s assistance in locating Christopher Dunham, 68, of Stanley.
He’d been reported as missing to the Mounties on June 11, when he was last seen near Graveyard Hill in Stanley.
At the time, police reported they’d had no luck in finding him and were worried about his well-being.
In a followup release Wednesday, the detachment noted Dunham had been found but was deceased.
“At this time, police do not believe criminality to be a factor in his death,” the RCMP said.
“Our thoughts are with the man's family and community at this time.”
In the original release, the Mounties noted Dunham may have been travelling in a gold 2011 Toyota Echo.
