  • Body found of 3rd hiker who went over waterfall in southeast B.C.: police

The body of a third hiker who was presumed dead after going over a waterfall in southeastern British Columbia has been found.

RCMP in Kimberley, B.C., say they have located the 35-year-old man and efforts to retrieve his body are ongoing.

The man was part of a group of three hikers who went over Meachen Creek Falls.

Police found the body of a 68-year-old woman about halfway down the falls on Monday after being alerted by a GPS SOS.

The body of a 35-year-old woman was located and recovered the following day.

A statement from police on Sunday says all three people were Mexican citizens.
