The body of a 75-year-old man was found in a snowbank Monday in Chicoutimi, north of Quebec City, according to multiple media reports.

Officers with the Saguenay Police Service reportedly went looking for the man after his relatives reported him missing. He was found dead in the snow around noon.

Authorities told TVA Nouvelles they believe the man had been in the snow for “several days” before his body was found.

Police say the cause of death is unknown, and they will be working with the coroner’s office to learn more.
