The RCMP has ruled out foul play in the recent disappearance and death of a man in Sandy Bay.

The body of 38-year-old Darcy Merasty was found one week ago.

Merasty was last seen leaving a friend’s home in Sandy Bay three days earlier.

He was not seen again until his body was found later that week.

Merasty’s family said it was totally out of character for him to not be in contact with family members.

However, police say an autopsy has ruled out any suspicious activity.
