The BC Coroners Service is now investigating.
Police, along with Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, initially used Morrison’s cell phone tracking to the area of Eagle Mountain and Ledgeview.
They didn’t know if he was equipped for hiking or the cooler weather.
He was last heard from Tuesday at 5:45 p.m., when he left his home in the Clearbrook Road area in Abbotsford to go for a walk and did not return.
