The search for the 24-year-old man that went missing at Countryfest has ended when search teams found the man dead.

The brother of Danny Kidane shared the news last night.

Sergeant Paul Manaigre, RCMP Media Relations Officer, says the RMCP search and rescue team located him yesterday around 5 in the afternoon.

“He was located in the creek a short distance away from the festival site.”

“The investigation will now focus on determining the cause of death; we’re going to be awaiting the results of the autopsy.”

Kidane was last seen around 3 in the afternoon on Saturday in the campground. 

The search was extended to Riding Mountain National Park yesterday afternoon.

“So right now our investigation will continue and hopefully we can answer some questions that the family might have for us.”
