The body of Jessy Duchesneau, missing since November 4 in Quebec, was found in the St. Lawrence River, confirms Quebec police.
The Sûreté du Québec informed the family and the Quebec City Police Department that they had recovered a body near the river, in the Bellechasse sector, on the south shore. She confirms that it is the remains of the 19-year-old young man.
Originally from Paspébiac, in Gaspésie, he came to spend a weekend in Quebec with friends. They lost track of him and his disappearance gave rise to lengthy searches across the city in the weeks that followed.
The night of his disappearance, surveillance camera images showed him leaving an underground parking lot near du Pont and du Prince-Édouard streets. He then allegedly walked east towards the bike path that runs along the Saint-Charles River and was not subsequently seen.
