Two members of a Burnaby family reported missing earlier this week have been found dead.
Ming Dong Xu, 38, his wife, Yu Ling Zhang, 36, and their four-year-old son, Garrick were reported missing on Monday.
An investigation led to Mitchell Island in Richmond where, on Tuesday, police found a submerged car, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release.
The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team pulled the car out and found one occupant, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another occupant was located in close proximity to the vehicle, according to police, and a third has yet to be found.
Foul play isn’t suspected, according to police.
"The investigation is ongoing to determine what led to this tragedy," Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar said.
The family had last been seen at about 3 p.m. on Sunday and were reported missing when they didn’t return home as expected.
Anyone who has information about the incident is asked to call RCMP at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
