IHIT said Friday that remains found in British Columbia were identified as Stewart McLean, 45, confirming the missing "Virgin River" actor is dead.
Police said evidence uncovered after McLean was reported missing on May 18 led investigators to treat the case as a homicide; IHIT took over on May 20.
Investigators are now analyzing evidence, reviewing CCTV and conducting interviews to reconstruct McLean's movements before May 15, when he was last seen at his Lions Bay home.
Jeff Seymour, an acting coach and friend of eight years, told The Canadian Press McLean's failure to appear for filming immediately signaled "big trouble" because he was meticulous and highly alert.
McLean, known for roles in "Virgin River," "Arrow" and other series, was a recognized figure in Canadian television, sharpening attention on the still-unresolved killing.
