Human remains discovered on Mount Hays in Prince Rupert last month have now been identified as those of missing jogger Michael Kitchener.
RCMP provided the update last night and while no cause of death was released, they do not believe foul play to be involved.
Kitchener was initially reported missing in October of 2021, when he was 21 years old, after heading out for an evening jog along Highway 16.
His discovery comes with much of the community already grieving after police discovered four deceased bodies in a home on Tuesday.
