The body of a missing 25-year-old man has been found in Kananaskis Country, RCMP say.
Family members of Zachary Coates confirmed to CBC News his body was found Monday afternoon.
RCMP say officers received a missing hiker report just before 10 a.m. Monday.
Shortly afterward, police found Coates's vehicle. A Kananaskis Emergency Services helicopter was used to locate his body, found on the western slope of Mount Smuts.
Investigators say his death does not appear suspicious, and it appears Coates was hiking alone when he fell Sunday afternoon.
