Police say on Wednesday morning, the 20-year-old emerged from the wooded area safe but with injuries from the cold weather.

On Thursday morning, a police dog found the remains of the 36-year-old man in a marsh about 300 metres from where he was last seen.

Police say the death is not believed to be criminal, but an autopsy will be performed.
