✖️ MISSING NANAIMO MAN FOUND DEAD - CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY ✖️

Nanaimo RCMP have launched a criminal investigation after the body of 23-year-old Mahadi Redwan was discovered Wednesday along the southbound side of Highway 19A.

Redwan had been missing since November 2 and was last seen on surveillance at Thrifty Foods on Turner Road around 8:00 p.m. before disappearing.

Police now believe he died that same evening around 8:15 p.m. The highway was shut down as investigators combed the area for evidence and treated the discovery as suspicious.

Anyone with dash-cam footage or information from November 2 is urged to contact Nanaimo RCMP and reference file #20205-35331.

A tragic discovery. Sincerest condolences to those who knew him.

⚠️ REMINDER: Please drive according to conditions and stay alert for pooling water and hydroplaning risks. Just witnessed a car completely spin out - across all southbound lanes - on the Island Hwy near Ware Rd / Lantzville. Appeared to be after a section of pooling. Thankfully, the driver regained control + avoided any collisions. Stay safe out there.
