The body of a man believed to be in his sixties has been hauled from the Fraser River in Richmond.

The Coastguard’s hovercraft, working with Richmond RCMP, made the discovery Wednesday afternoon on the river near the Fraser Wharves car import depot, next to SilverCity on Steveston Highway.

Early reports that the man was of East Indian origin have still to be confirmed by the B.C. Coroner’s Office.
