The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP have located human remains that have now been identified as Ben Kilmer who was reported missing on May 16th, 2018.

The remains were located on Oct 17th in a remote area by a hiker. This area was well outside of the original search area.

Foul play has been ruled out and the file is now with the BC Coroner’s Service.

The family is requesting privacy at this difficult time.

Neither the RCMP or the BC Coroners Service have further details to share at this time.
