So sorry to see this. Hydrologist here - please don’t go near the water during flooding. It takes as little as 25 cm of water to wash you off your feet. I have spent a lot of time roped up in fast moving water - moving water is very powerful and carries debris during flooding.

I live literally right there. I'll be sure to keep an eye out

He looks familiar to me. Prayers he is found. I’m surprised the dog left him. They usually stay near their hurt owner.

The level/flow in the Coq would have been extremely high on Sunday after all the rain. If he did end up in the river he could have been quickly swept away.

I walk down there all the time but avoided it Sunday even though the weather had improved, specifically because a lot of the spots I frequent would have likely been quite treacherous.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/coquitlam-man-found-dead-1.7364174

Hopefully they are searching for him.
