I haven't seen this mentioned yet here in the Fishing or the General threads. I really like his videos, I hope he is found safe.

Missing person update:
The Crowsnest Pass RCMP Detachment has provided an update to MHPS that the search for Rajesh John has come to a very unfortunate conclusion.
Mr. John has been found deceased in the waterways in the area of Lynx Creek. The RCMP have conveyed that there appears to be no foul play; however, the RCMP detachment’s investigation under the Fatality Inquiries Act, in tandem with the Medical Examiner’s investigation will now begin.
MHPS wants to thank those who have volunteered over the last couple of days in helping to locate Mr. John, as well as offer our deepest condolences to Rajesh’s family and friends.
Any further media enquiries will be directed to the Crowsnest Pass RCMP and / or the Calgary Medical Examiner’s Office.

A tragic end, but at least he was doing what he enjoyed when it was his time, RIP.

Bin thinking about some of the online hate that was directed at this guy, wondering if he ran into one of the haters on the water, at their “honey hole”………
The whole thing just seems suspicious the more I think about it…..

Here is some more information with more details. Likely just a tragic case of loose footing.

For anyone interested there is a Facebook page where local businesses and friends in the fishing community are donating items for aution. All proceeds will go to John's wife/family. It's an open group.

I saw lots of the stuff that he called on line hate, he got the same comments anyone would get for poorly handling a sturgeon, he just called it racism. Never once saw any comment that went even close to racism. He called all alberta anglers racists on one of his blogs, never went well for the guy. Saw him cast lures at a boat because it came to close to where he was shore fishing, started swearing and yelling at the guys in the boat, again on one of his videos.

His body was found at the base of a small waterfall I guess....some speculation was he may have lost his footing and tumbled down the rocky bank. This is just what I've heard through other groups by people who were helping search and knew the area he was found in well.
Hopefully whatever happened was quick and he didn't lay there suffering for hours.

Just a suggestion, but out of respect for the fact someone lost his life, if people want to contribute with those links, they are free to do so.

The other stuff being mentioned in this thread can probably be left alone (factual or not). Again, someone lost his life that has a hurting family. Just my two cents.
