The Canadian Press, 02 Aug, 2018 01:42 PM

DELTA, B.C. — The body of a man who fell off a houseboat in Delta, B.C., in April has been found on a beach in Washington state.

Delta police say the man's friends witnessed him falling into the Fraser River on April 25 but he slipped under the water and couldn't be rescued.

An extensive search of the area by the coast guard, an RCMP aircraft and Delta police turned up nothing and the man was presumed drowned.

On July 22, a body was found at Neptune Beach in Ferndale, Wash., by officers with the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office.

Police say in a news release that due to the condition of the body there was a delay in identification, but a positive identity of the man was made using dental records on Tuesday.
