The body of a missing skier in the Gaspé has been found.

36-year old Bertrand Marcotte, from the Quebec City area, died during a ski expedition in Gaspé provincial park.

He was found by two skiers yesterday.

Police say Marcotte, who had been missing since last Sunday, got lost after he left his group.

They add his body was found in the snow near a former mine, roughly a kilometre away from where Marcotte was expected to take refuge.
