The body of a missing 19-year-old Castlegar man, Zachary Larsen, was recovered from the Columbia River today.

Castlegar RCMP Sgt. Laurel Mathew said a passerby walking along the riverbank spotted the body in the river between the Robson and Kinnaird bridges.

She said a forensic examination will be conducted, but until the results are available, it’s impossible to say whether foul play was a factor in the young man’s death.

“We don’t know, and we won’t until the forensic exam is complete,” she said. ”Hopefully, that will have some answers for us.”

Larsen was reported missing on June 6.
