NOW! Sad news just confirmed the passing of!

For now, the focus remains on the grieving. The provincial flags fly at half-mast, and the silence along the closed highway is a heavy reminder of the lives extinguished. The man who remains lost in the mud has become a symbol of the “quiet wounds” left by this disaster—a reminder that even when the search ends, the story is far from over. British Columbia will eventually clear the mud and reopen the road, but the memory of those swallowed by the hill will remain, a haunting echo in the shadows of the mountains south of Lillooet.
