Man dies, loyal dog remains by his side

UPDATE: Missing BC man found dead with his loyal pitbull sitting off leash by his side
The search for a BC man who went missing after leaving his home in Wilmer to walk his pitbull cross Rusty on Wednesday morning has ended in tragedy.
Today at 1:10 pm, an officer in the RCMP's fixed wing aircraft that was searching for Martin Baker spotted his body near Wilmer Lake.
When they reached his body on foot, they found a loyal Rusty at Baker's side, despite being off leash.
Police say the dog was in good spirits and good health.
"Police do not believe that criminality was involved in Martin's sudden death," said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. "We extend our sincerest condolences to Mr. Baker’s family during this difficult time."

The RCMP has notified the BC Coroners Service, who has now launched an independent and concurrent fact finding investigation into Baker's sudden passing.
