The BC Coroners Service and Mission RCMP are asking the public to help identify a man that died in Mission in July this year.

 The man was struck by a train on the tracks south of Lougheed Highway, near the intersection of Highway 11 in Mission, sometime before 7:30 am on July 11, 2026.  Sadly, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.  

Despite pursuing various investigative avenues – including reviewing outstanding missing persons reports – police and the BC Coroners Service have not yet been able to identify the man, and are now releasing a sketch of him in hopes that someone will recognize him. 

 He is believed to have been approximately 160 centimetres (5’3”) tall, and of slim build.  It is unknown whether he was from Mission or another community. 

 Police remind the public not to cross train tracks outside of designated crossings, and to heed all signs and warnings in the vicinity of railway tracks.
