The owner of a seasonal camp discovered the remains of Sudbury city councillor Michael Vagnini, Greater Sudbury Police said Tuesday evening.
Vagnini’s body was discovered on Reserve Camp Road in Atikiameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation, near his black Dodge Ram 1500, around 2:30 p.m.
Vagnini, 62, had been missing since Jan. 27, prompting a massive search involving city and provincial police, and many volunteers. Family and friends also held a vigil praying for his safe return.
His remains were discovered Tuesday when the landowner came to the area to check on his property, Det. Sgt. Barry Ornella said.
“Unfortunately it was confirmed Michael Vagnini’s body was located near the vehicle, deceased,” Ornella said.
Police then called the coroner’s office and notified his family. Foul play is not suspected.
