The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a male found deceased in the ocean off Lasqueti Island on November 1.
After an exhaustive post-mortem investigation involving the Coroners Service Identification and Disaster Response Unit and with assistance from Oceanside RCMP and the West Vancouver Police Dept., the man has been determined to be Kelly Nordin, aged 61, of Prince George.
The body of Nordin was found on Nov. 1 by two persons travelling on a sailboat near the southern tip of Lasqueti Island.
He was last known to be alive on Oct. 24, 2012 and is believed to have gone into the water in the area of West Vancouver.
Foul play has been ruled out in the case.
