The remains of a missing 29-year-old Gander man have been recovered, police said Saturday morning.

Brandon Tucker's body was found in a forested area between Gander Lake and the Trans Canada Highway, according to the RCMP.

They say the office of the chief medical examiner has confirmed the remains are Tucker's, but add that the RCMP doesn't suspect foul play.

Tucker was last seen the morning of July 8, when he walked into the woods behind his home. He left his wallet behind. His phone was pinged by a cell tower just outside Gander that afternoon.

His partner, Travis Gleason, previously told CBC News that Tucker was a musician and gamer with a love of reading and comic books. He said his partner's disappearance was "completely out of character."

"Brandon is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle person that you will ever meet," Gleason said at the time.

Police are still scratching their heads wonder WHY he would be at the Train Tracks

Do you have any thought as to why a gay man (with a partner) would hanging around the train tracks, NOT even taking his wallet, but his phone?

A middle aged man who plays with Fantasy and Comic Books is obviously retarded. And troubled.

29 is middle aged now? Even by DL standards that's a bit much.

Oh, and it's obvious what he was there for and what got him killed.

where are train tracks mentioned op?? the railway in newfoundland was decommissioned m/ripped out in 1988.

this poor guy was found in a forested area near a highway which in Newfoundland means a dark two lane road surrounded by vast unfriendly wilderness. He either committed suicide or was drunk and died of exposure. it’s not a place to wander about at night even in the summertime, death from exposure there happens all the time.

"No foul play" means just that - he was not murdered. He killed himself, hence the police are not looking for suspects nor asked the public's help in trying to find a suspect.

RIP Brandon, sometimes life is too unbearable.

But please seek help if you feel this way - sometimes medication/therapy can help.

Is this the same Gander Lake that's on the island of Saint Pierre and Miquelon? I thought they were still part of France - some odd last vestige of New France. Wiki shows they have a member in the French senate and another in the national assembly. So do they get their law enforcement from the RCMP?
