No MSM posted in recent month's. Louis' father passed away in November. His poor mother, my God.

No name released but could be this him?

The body of a Whistler man has been found in Banff National Park, one year after he was reported missing.

The 22-year-old, who has not been publicly named, was reported missing in Vancouver in April 2017.

The man found in Banff is named in this article. It's not Louis.

No news on Louis... Hoping he did not use the bridge as a means to an end

If Louis did enter the water, wondering how common it is for bodies to resurface from that spot?

Bumping for Louis.
No real progress made in month since Louis Gonick disappeared

A photo of him captured by the taxi cab surveillance camera was also included in the press conference’s handout.

RCMP
As a result, the RCMP has conducted an “extensive land and marine search” at this location and the surrounding area within Stanley Park. The Coast Guard, West Coast Marine Services, the Vancouver Police Marine Unit and Vancouver Port Authority were also involved.

If Louis did enter the water, wondering how common it is for bodies to resurface from that spot?

It's very unpredictable, it would depend on the tides and what part of the bridge. Parts of First Narrows are more shallow, but there is a very deep channel (on the mountain side), where ocean-going freighters pass under the bridge. That can create very strong, deep currents, and probably there are many features underwater that prevent resurfacing. There are cases that have never been found. A random case from googling from 2014: A mother looks for answers

Note that for the most part, police avoid releasing information about suicides because of the contagion effect, it can lead to other attempts.

No news on Louis in over a year... but he is on my mind. I feel he likely took his own life and I hope I'm wrong, but everything points to that. Sending love and light to his mom and his friends this Christmas.

any updates on this dead end?

Still nothing new that i can find.

Still no news. I remember when he went missing, it was a shock to student populace. The general thought was that he took his own life, it was close to finals season, maybe the stress got to him. The resource centers on campus for mental health issues were quite hard to access in 2017. If you were having issues they would try to put you into group therapy or refer to online resources, it was incredibly hard to get a one on one counseling appointment. I think there were two other suicides at UBC in the same year.

He's up on Canada's missing as case #2017020043.
