KELOWNA – A 26-year-old Kelowna man's body was found frozen in a construction toilet near Mission Creek Park this past weekend.

According to a source close to the family, the young man was returning home from a night out when he entered a temporary toilet set up somewhere near the popular hiking area.

Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says emergency crews were called to a report of a deceased male near Mission Creek Park shortly before 8:30 a.m. Feb. 4. The death is not believed suspicious.

The source, who wishes not to be identified, says a jogger found the body Saturday morning and called 911.
