    VICTORIA — The body of a truck driver who disappeared while delivering wood chips to a mill in Crofton, B.C., has been found in a storage container at the facility.
     
    The BC Coroners Service says workers at the Catalyst Paper Mill couldn't find 66-year-old Perry Thomas about a half hour after he arrived on Tuesday.
     
    Thomas was reported missing and a search was launched.
     
    His body was recovered Thursday from a container linked by a conveyor belt to the location where he was to dump the chips.
