Mudslide in Lillooet, B.C., Leaves Multiple Dead and Missing
Three men have been confirmed dead following a mudslide near Lillooet, B.C., with one man still missing, according to the RCMP.
“I also extend my heartfelt condolences to the families who are now mourning the sudden and unexpected loss of their loved one,
and to the family of the missing person we have yet to locate,” said B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe.
The first fatality from the flooding and landslides was a woman found at the site earlier, attributed in part to heavy rainfall last weekend.
Search efforts for the fourth missing individual were complicated by harsh weather and difficult terrain,
and have now concluded, though authorities continue discussing next steps.
Law enforcement and search-and-rescue teams are working to identify the deceased and notify next of kin.
Highway 99 remains closed, with no timeline for reopening.
