Police previously reported they suspected foul play in his disappearance and Chief Jon Bergen told paNOW the death and circumstances were suspicious.

“We can’t comment on the investigation at this time but it’s a joint investigation with the RCMP because of the recovery [of the remains.]”

Bergen wouldn’t give specifics, but said the remains were found “north of Prince Albert in a rural area.” He added the discovery was the result of their investigations into the initial missing person inquiry.

Police were able to identify the remains as those of Chretien following a forensic autopsy.

They are not releasing the cause of death.
