SMITHERS, B.C. — A 45-year-old northwestern British Columbia cyclist who was reported missing on a ride from Smithers to Vancouver Island has been found dead.

Kuntz was reported missing in June 18, as he cycled to Saanich on Vancouver Island to visit his mother.

Saunderson says the death is not considered suspicious, but no further details will be released.
