The body of the OHL hockey player from Toronto who had been missing for a week was confirmed Tuesday night to have been found in a vehicle in a Michigan parking lot.

"It is with very heavy hearts that we announce that late this afternoon we were informed by the Michigan State Police that the body of Terry Trafford has been found," Trafford's former Ontario Hockey League team, the Michigan-based Saginaw Spirit, stated on its website.

Trafford's father Roy had earlier told Global News that the body was his son, who was last seen leaving the Wendler Arena in Saginaw, Mich., on March 3. The vehicle where the body was found - a green GMC Sierra - is the same type as Trafford's.

B.C. Coroner Releases Autopsy, Toxicology Tests

VANCOUVER - Cory Monteith, star of Glee, spent his last evening out on the town with three friends before returning to his luxury hotel room alone where he took heroin and died early Saturday morning from the effects of the drug combined with alcohol.

When police arrived hours later, there were no signs of a struggle and no evidence of foul play. Police were sure they knew what had happened. "There was evidence in the room that was consistent with drug use," Const. Brian Montague, of Vancouver police, said at a news conference Tuesday after the B.C. Coroners Service announced the results of an autopsy and toxicology tests.

When Laura Shaver flew to Toronto last November to help put together a resource guide for safer crack smoking, she never thought that her methadone treatment back in B.C. would be affected.

But during her trip, the 34-year-old failed to renew her prescription with her doctor at one of Vancouver's private methadone clinics (Ms. Shaver would not name the clinic for legal reasons), and when she went to see the doctor upon her return, he cut her methadone from 260 millilitres to 50 ml.

A Kelowna reporter is furious that he may face criminal charges after he exposed an alleged drug operation by going undercover and videotaping himself purchasing marijuana.

Kelly Hayes of Castanet Media, a Kelowna-based news website, bought the drugs after being contacted in mid- July by Anna Stein, who believed her upstairs neighbour was selling drugs illegally.

Stein, 64, told The Vancouver Sun that she had previously tried to have her neighbour evicted, but failed. When she went to the Kelowna RCMP, she said, she was told its drug unit didn't have the manpower to deal with the problem.

"We certainly think that the anti-harm reduction bylaw could be playing a role in higher rates of hospitalization and incidence of disease in Abbotsford," public health director David Portesi said in an interview Friday.

Abbotsford's zoning bylaw was amended in 2005 to prohibit any individual or organization - including Fraser Health, which oversees the provision of health services in the region - from establishing harm-reduction facilities like needle exchanges or injection sites in the area.
