Kamloops RCMP is investigating after a body was found in the Thompson River on Monday night.

Const. Crystal Evelyn says police and firefighters were called to the 2000-block of Mission Flats Road around 7 p.m. last night after a couple who were walking their dog spotted a body in shallow water.

She says the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit and the BC Coroner Service were also called to the scene.

“Although the investigation is ongoing, the cause of death appears to be non-criminal at this time,” Evelyn said, in a statement. “Police are still working to identify the deceased male.”

The BC Coroners Service will be doing their own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.

Evelyn says anyone with information  is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP and reference file number 2022-13459.
