A 30-year-old man who has been missing since last fall has been found dead in Peterborough County.
On January 9, Peterborough County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call from a person who said they had not heard from a family member since the end of October and were concerned for his well-being.
Police issued a media release asking for the public’s assistance in locating the man, who they only identified as “Jesse”. He had last been seen on October 22 in the Hiawatha area.
During a search for Jesse, a person’s remains were discovered in the area of Fourth Line in Otonabee-South Monaghan Township on January 14. There was an increased police presence in the area while police conducted an investigation.
On Friday (January 24), the Peterborough County OPP received confirmation the remains located were those of Jesse.
At this time, police do not suspect foul play. The Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service are continuing their investigation.
