MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. — The body of a missing camper has been found in a provincial park near Maple Ridge, B.C.

A 39-year-old man went missing in Golden Ears Provincial Park around 2:30 a.m. on New Year's Day after telling friends he was going to set off fireworks.

The search resumed early Saturday morning, and a boat found a man's body in Alouette Lake around 10 a.m.

Ridge Meadows RCMP say the body is that of the missing camper.

Laing says the man's death appears to be a tragic accident.
