Sandhu's body was discovered by CN rail workers who were doing some track inspections about 18 kilometers east ot Vanderhoof .

The RCMP, with the assistance of the B.C. Conservation Service, were able to recover the body Saturday.

I am really sorry for the family of Dahljit Sandhu to loose their son so young.He was recovered from my property on the river on Saturday July 14/07 and hopefully they can find some peace now that he has been found.

What a shame, to lose your life due to a bad decision you made (trying to outrun the cops) May his family find peace.

He was a very good person and an excellent son that I would have loved to have.He made one mistake and paid the ultimate price. Its just not fair. Lot of kids do all kinds of horrible things and yet live to be 90. So so unfair.................
