VANCOUVER -- RCMP in Chilliwack say they have now found the body of missing person David McCullum.
Police had originally issued a public warning as McCullum was "believed to be in possession of firearms," but by Friday the case had become a missing person investigation.
Chilliwack RCMP say criminality is not suspected in his death, and the BC Coroners service is now investigating.
McCullum's partner Melissa Klebe posted about his disappearance on Facebook and joined a group of volunteers who went searching for him on Friday.
After police announced his body had been found, Klebe responded to a Facebook message from CTV News that had been sent days earlier.
In it, she shared the following statement:
“Mental health is a serious issue that needs to be talked about more. Thank you everyone for all the love, wishes, shares, support and condolences at this time. We all loved David so much and will miss him terribly!”
Klebe also shared some of her favourite photos of her partner.
