Remains of missing actor Stewart McLean found north of Vancouver, homicide police say | Canada Voices

The remains of British Columbia actor Stewart McLean have been found in a community just north of Vancouver.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in a statement that the body was found during a search of the Lions Bay area where McLean lived.

Police said this week that the actor, who appeared on series such as Virgin River and Murder in a Small Town, may have been the victim of a homicide.

McLean, 45, was reported missing Monday after last being seen May 15.

Homicide investigators took over the missing-persons case after Squamish RCMP found evidence he may have been killed.

The homicide team says investigators are working with the BC Coroners Service to understand the circumstances that led to his death, and that it’s believed to be an isolated incident.

“As the investigation continues to unfold, homicide investigators are working to collect and analyze evidence, review CCTV footage and conduct interviews to build a timeline of Mr. McLean’s activities prior to May 15, 2026,” Cpl. Esther Tupper said in the statement.

“We are pursuing all available leads as we work to find answers for the family, friends and loved ones of Mr. McLean.”

McLean is listed by entertainment database IMDb as an actor and producer with credits in TV series such as CW’s Arrow and Netflix’s Travelers.

The actor, born in Edmonton, last appeared onscreen in one episode of the Netflix TV series Virgin River released in March.
