Searchers have found the body of a young Prince Edward Island man who went missing after leaving a New Year's Eve party at a golf course during a howling blizzard.
Police and volunteers had scoured the Clyde River area for two days in their search for Kyle Alvin Bambrick. (CBC) Kyle Alvin Bambrick, 18, was last seen around 3 a.m. on Jan. 1 when he headed out into a snowstorm in a rural community west of Charlottetown.
"We can confirm that our search-and-rescue teams were able to find the body of Mr. Bambrick in the Clyde River area," RCMP Sgt. Denis Morin said Sunday.
Morin said a police dog helped volunteers and officers find the body in a field near the river, about a kilometre from where Bambrick was last seen.
Witnesses said the teen was seen leaving the party wearing only a jacket and running shoes.
Some snowdrifts along the sides of roads in area were more than a metre high at the time.
