Vancouver doctor found dead after going missing from Dunbar home
The search for a missing woman in Vancouver has come to a tragic end.
In a release, Vancouver police say the remains of Dr. Tracy Pickett were found in the Southlands neighbourhood.
A search was launched for the 55-year-old on September 27 after she was reported missing from her home by a family member.
Investigators and the BC Coroner’s Service will determine the cause of Pickett’s death.
At this stage of the investigation, Pickett’s death does not appear to be the result of a crime and there is no public safety risk.
