Quebec police say they have found the bodies of the missing Savoura president and his son.

Stephane Roy and his 14-year-old son Justin went missing on a helicopter flight piloted by Roy while on a fishing trip in the Upper Laurentians on July 10.

Police said in a tweet Thursday afternoon that an SQ helicopter located an aircraft on the ground in the Lac Valtrie area, about 230 kilometres north of Montreal and north of Mont-Tremblant Park.

Police said everything suggests that it is indeed Roy's Robinson R44 helicopter.



Field teams heading into the remote area and shortly after confirmed that they discovered two bodies amid the wreckage.

"All indications are that it would be the two occupants of the aircraft, Mr. Stéphane Roy and his son," the SQ said in a tweet.



Police said an investigation into the circumstances that led to their crash is underway, and a formal identification of the two men is underway.



More than 90 people with the air force, the Canadian Coast Guard and other rescue services had searched for the pair since they went missing.

The Royal Canadian Air Force ended its search operations last weekend and transferred the case to the provincial police.

L’hélicoptère de la Sûreté du Québec a localisé un appareil au sol dans le secteur du lac Valtrie au nord du Parc du Mont-Tremblant. Tout porte à croire qu’il s’agirait de l’appareil de Stéphane Roy. Des équipes sur le terrain sont en direction afin d’intervenir. — Sûreté du Québec (@sureteduquebec) July 25, 2019

Malheureusement, l’équipe déployée sur le terrain a retrouvé deux personnes décédées. Tout porte à croire qu’il s’agirait des deux occupants de l’appareil, M. Stéphane Roy et son fils.

Quebec Premier Francois Legault tweeted his condolences to the family, Savoura employees and those close to Roy.

"All of Quebec is behind you in these difficult moments," he said, adding his thanks to the Surete du Quebec, the Canadian Armed Forces and other groups that helped in the search efforts.
