Missing man’s body found submerged in Swift Current Creek

The body of Colton Koop was found under the ice of the Swift Current Creek on Saturday morning.

The discovery by the “F” Division Underwater Recovery Team ends a three-week search for the 26-year-old, who was connected to a red Dodge pickup truck that went over a guardrail, through the ice and into the creek on Nov. 16.

According to a news release, police found Koop upstream from where the truck came to a rest in the water, partially submerged.

Koop’s body was found a day after his family, with the help of the RCMP, issued a public request to help locate him.
