A 56-year-old missing for several months has been found dead.

The man was last seen Jan. 27 in Centretown, while his vehicle was located a few days later near Chaudière Island.

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) says foul play is not suspected.

“Our thoughts are with the family,” officials said in a press release. “We want to thank the public and media for their efforts to locate him.”
