FOG BLOG TRAGEDY LOG: REMAINS FOUND WHERE JULIAN SANDS DISAPPEARED CONFIRMED AS HIS !

British actor, 65, had been missing since January after going hiking in Mount Baldy area

A body that was discovered in wilderness near Mount Baldy in California on Saturday was confirmed last night to be that of the missing British actor Julian Sands. It had been transported to the coroner’s office for identification, and the San Bernardino sheriff’s department said in a statement yesterday: “The identification process for the body … has been completed and was positively identified as 65-year-old Julian Sands. Bernardino county sheriff’s department had been co-ordinating a search for the actor, who was reported missing in San Gabriel mountains on 13 January.. Bad weather hampered rescuers as they tried to find Sands, preventing ground searches for long periods. Last week, the sheriff’s office said they were scaling back the search after a renewed effort involving more than 80 people on 17 June proved unsuccessful.
