Maple Ridge RCMP advises that a deceased individual recovered in the Fraser River over the weekend is the same individual who was reported to have fallen into the river on April 27, 2026 (Officers respond to marine incident at Port Haney Wharf).
On May 31, 2026, at approximately 10:45am, Maple Ridge RCMP responded to report of a body being seen in the Fraser River on the Katzie First Nation reserve lands. Officers attended and, with assistance from New Westminster Police Service and Search and Rescue, recovered the body.
