After two months of searching, the body of a missing B.C. fisherman has been found.
A spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP confirmed that Damian Dutrisac s body was found on the shores of a gravel quarry in the Upper Sumas Mountain area along the Fraser River.
The provincial government has suspended a permit allowing an Abbotsford, B.C., quarry to set off explosives near a peregrine falcon nest, alleging that the company failed to maintain an adequate buffer zone between the blast area and the ledge on which the falcons live.
VANCOUVER People spent hours Wednesday searching along the Fraser River and surrounding shoreline for any sign of a missing Abbotsford man. Twenty-nine-year-old Damian Dutrisac hasn’t been seen since the boat he was fishing in sank on May 7 near Chilliwack. Dutrisac was out fishing last Friday afternoon on the Fraser River near the mouth of the Sumas River when the boat’s anchor got stuck, and the vessel went under. Kristen Parker’s boyfriend Andrew was in the boat with Damian, and managed to swim to safety. “Andrew somehow swam about 400 yards to get to shore,” she said. “He said he looked back and he could see Damian swimming towards him, and once he got to shore, he could no longer see him.”
VANCOUVER Ever since Karyssa Mclean and her fiancée Damian Dutrisac got engaged last fall, they’ve been planning their upcoming wedding, and their future together. “One of the last messages he ever sent to me was telling me how excited he was to get married,” she said. “It doesn’t seem real to have your whole life planned out like this, and for it just to be taken away so quick.” Mclean is now praying for Dutrisac to come home, after the boat he was out fishing in went under the water last Friday on the Fraser River, near the mouth of the Sumas River in Chilliwack.
