    Family Of Toronto Man Found Dead In Richmond B.C., Raise Funds To Have His Body Returned

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Jan, 2016 10:02 AM
      RICHMOND, B.C. — Friends and family of a 23-year-old Toronto man have launched an online fundraising drive as they face the expense of returning his body to Ontario from British Columbia.
       
      In posts on a GoFundMe site, the family of Ephraigm Flores say a five-day search for the recently licensed nurse ended tragically on New Year's Eve when his body was found in Richmond.
       
      RCMP in the Vancouver suburb began a search after Flores was last seen in Richmond on Boxing Day returning from a concert in Vancouver.
       
      Police say a body was discovered on Dec. 31 in the same area where Flores disappeared, but the name of the victim has not been confirmed.
       
       

      Please help us bring my brother Home and give him a proper funeral. May you find peace. You may be not physically here...

      The death is not considered suspicious.
       
      A fundraising drive to assist the Flores family has a goal of $25,000 and raised nearly $14,000 in just over a day after being posted.
