Two bodies found in Ucluelet Police say remains found by dog walker
ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
The RCMP and B.C. Coroners Service continue to investigate the remains of two bodies found near Ucluelet late last week. A news released posted by the RCMP on Monday states the remains were found by a woman walking her dog. Sgt. Janelle Shoihet of the BC RCMP told the Westerly News on Tuesday that police are not releasing the specific location or date that the remains were discovered. “At this point, it’s too early to make any determination with respect to whether or not it’s suspicious or whether or not there’s any foul play,” Shoihet said Andy Watson of the B.C. Coroner’s Service told the Westerly on Tuesday that the investigation into the identities of the deceased, as well as the cause of death, is ongoing. “Our role in this will obviously be to determine: identity of the remains, when, where, how and by what means the decedents came to die,” Watson said. The discovery of the remains comes while police are also investigating the disappearance of Dan Archbald and Ryan Daley, who were last seen leaving a Ucluelet dock on-foot on May 16. “At this time, it is too early to determine whether the remains are of missing men Ryan Daley and Daniel Archbald and police continue to investigate their disappearance,” the release states.

MISSING: West Coast residents searched local shores over the weekend looking for three missing Tla-o-qui-aht fishermen whose vessel sank near Duffin Cove around 3 a.m. Friday. The Canadian Coast Guard, RCMP and search and rescue crews were also involved in the search.
Search continues for Tla-o-qui-aht fishers ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
The search for three missing Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation fishermen whose vessel capsized near Tofino early Friday morning entered its fourth day on Monday. Five men were on the tin boat when it reportedly sank around 3 a.m. Friday. Two were rescued and stated that three others were still missing. Members of the First Nation supported each other at Tofino’s First Street Dock over the weekend while they waited for news to come in.
“We’re hoping for some answers to exactly what happened. We’re hoping and praying that we’re still going to find some people within the area that are still survivors to come home to their families,” Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation member Elmer Frank told the Westerly at the dock. “There’s a lot of mixed emotions. With any kind of event such as this one, you’re going to be confused. There’s a lot of confusion. Emotions are going to be high for the next couple of days and, I think, we just need to respect that as searchers and we also need to respect the families.” Continued on A6
Better hurry: Almost sold out!
