Missing canoer’s body found in water

Authorities have recovered the body of a Delta father-of-two who went missing during a canoe trip last week.

Cory Fergus disappeared after heading out to check crab traps in Boundary Bay the evening of Oct. 7.

Crews found his body on Tuesday in U.S. waters near Point Roberts.

Delta Police said foul play is not suspected but an autopsy will be performed Wednesday to determine the cause of death.

The mother of Fergus’s children told CTV News he’s an experienced boater and wonderful dad, but that he has type 1 diabetes and is known to slip into comas.
