The Sûreté du Québec confirmed Wednesday morning that the bones discovered this Saturday, June 17, in the Lac Daigle sector are those of Samuel Gauthier, from whose family no news has been known for six months.
The Montreal Forensic Science and Medicine Laboratory rendered its verdict after analyzing the bones. Recall that a passer-by discovered human remains about ten kilometers north of Sept-Îles in a forest below the road to Lac Daigle.

Sureté du Québec spokesman Hugues Beaulieu told Macotenord.com the investigation is ongoing. “No details are being shared with the family or the media as to how Samuel Gauthier was killed. The investigations into criminal offenses against the person continue to be assigned to the investigative service.
What exactly happened on the night of December 10-11, 2022? The question remains unanswered for the loved ones of 28-year-old Samuel Gauthier, who was last officially seen alive leaving a friend’s home in Port-Cartier.
The man’s relatives told several media outlets that they were convinced it was a settlement.
The missing man’s wife, Carolanne Dufour, took to social media last night to express her sadness and wrote for Samuel that he deserved to be at peace. For her part, Marie-Hélène Gauthier, Samuel’s mother, expressed her great relief in an interview with TVA Nouvelles.
