The Bridgewater Police Service has confirmed that human remains found in a wooded area belong to 21-year-old Finn McDormand, who went missing earlier this week in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Police located the remains on March 4, 2026, in a secluded spot near Forest Hill Road during their search for the young person.

McDormand was first reported missing on March 3, 2026, after they reportedly ran away from their parents at Gow’s Home Hardware. The discovery follows a high-priority search by local officers who were looking for the 21-year-old.

The police are currently treating the investigation as suspicious, though they noted on March 5 that there was no initial evidence of foul play at the scene. They are asking anyone with information about what happened to come forward and speak with investigators as the case continues.
