The body of what is believed to be one of four men who disappeared during a hunting trip in northern Alberta more than two months ago has been located.

On June 25, 2017 at approximately 7:00 p.m. Fort Chipewyan RCMP were called to the Rocher River approximately 8 kilometers north of where the boat of four missing hunters was located.

A local resident was on the river and discovered a body on the river bank.

A tentative identification has been made and an autopsy is pending in Edmonton for both deceased men who were located in the river over the last two days.

Police have said Walter Ladoucer, Andrew Ladoucer, Keanan Cardinal and Keith Marten set out April 24 for an area near Fort Chipewyan known as Devil’s Gate.

Their boat was later found in the river that flows through Wood Buffalo National Park.

The bodies of two of the men have previously been recovered.
