On September 1, Kimberley RCMP was alerted by a GPS SOS that three hikers went over Meachen Creek Falls.

Frontline officers responded and located one of the three people halfway down the falls.

Kimberley Search and Rescue, Bighorn Helicopters, the RCMP’s Police Dog Services and the use of a drone were engaged in the search.

Unfortunately, searchers found one woman, deceased. The death is not considered suspicious.

The RCMP continue to search for the other missing people as well as support the BC Coroner Service during their investigation.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased.
