Police on eastern Vancouver Island say they have found the body of a 26-year-old man in the waters of Cowichan Bay.
R-C-M-P say the man was last seen Monday and reported missing on Wednesday.
They say the R-C-M-P West Coast Marine Unit was deployed to search the bay with the help of a police helicopter, and the man's body was found yesterday.
