Guelph Police say there was no criminal suspicion surrounding the death of a Guelph man earlier this year.

Cody Thompson, 24, disappeared April 1. After an extensive search by police, family and friends, his remains were found May 22 in the area of the Eramosa River just near Downtown Guelph.

Guelph Police released the following statement Friday:

“Cody Thompson was reported missing on April 5, 2016. His remains were located on May 21, 2016. The lengthy investigation has determined that there is no criminal suspicion surrounding his death.”

Thompson battled addiction issues and was last heard from when he spoke to his father by phone in the area of the covered bridge off Gordon Street.

A part of a photocopy of his birth certificate was later found in the area.
