Stewart McLean’s Remains Found as Homicide Probe Under Way

IHIT has opened a forensic homicide investigation to determine how the actor died.

Overview

  • McLean, who was last seen at his Lions Bay home on May 15, was reported missing to Squamish RCMP on May 18 after friends raised concerns.
  • The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team deployed to the case on May 20 and told the public on May 21 that evidence pointed to homicide; investigators located and identified McLean’s remains in the Lions Bay area on May 22.
  • Homicide investigators are collecting and analysing forensic evidence, reviewing CCTV footage and conducting interviews with neighbours and potential witnesses as they work to build a timeline of McLean’s movements before May 15.
  • Lucas Talent Inc., McLean’s agency, confirmed his death and colleagues and neighbours have expressed shock and grief as the local film community processes the loss.
  • Authorities describe the case so far as an isolated incident and are asking anyone with information to contact the IHIT information line or email as investigators pursue remaining leads.
