Police in northern Ontario identified the body found shot to death in the woods last week as a missing man saying it was murder.
The body of Marcel Thoma, 30, was found in a wooded area of Egan Township, near Timmins on May 23, Ontario Provincial Police said in an update Tuesday morning.
Thoma, of Petawawa, was last heard from around 6:34 p.m. May 17 in a message that said he was 30 minutes west of Matheson, OPP said.
He was driving a grey 2005 Volkswagen Jetta with the license plate CXWN343 at the time.
Last week, OPP asked the public for help finding Lucas MacDonald, 43, who is wanted by police on unrelated matters and is believed to have information about Thoma's death.
"Investigators also believe that he may be in possession of a firearm and has information regarding the death investigation," police said Tuesday.
