Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Saskatchewan reported that a deceased male was located on the James Smith Cree Nation and was confirmed to be wanted Damien Sanderson.
His body was located outdoors, in a heavily grassed area in proximity to a house being investigated. Police have confirmed he has visible injuries, not believed to be self-inflicted at this point.

He may be injured and seek medical attention. He may be in a black Nissan Rogue with SK license plate 119 MPI. It’s unknown if he’s traveling with anyone.
