12. British Tourist Missing While On A Hike In Canadian Mountains
22 year old tourist Tom Billings, of Great Britain, went missing in the North Shore Mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 25th of 2013. Billings had planned an 8 week tour of North America, but his plans were cut short by a fatal accident that occurred while attempting a dangerous hiking route. Billings told two hikers of the route he planned to take which was seen as a risky and difficult path in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. Billings was not reported missing until seven days later and the alert was only raised when he failed to meet his travel plans. The body of the Vancouver native was not found until nearly three years later in April of 2016, when a passing hiker stumbled upon Billings’ remains in the Cypress ski area. Foul play has not been suspected and he is believed to have died from natural causes.
