Ottawa-area man found dead in Mexico
An Ottawa-area businessman who was reported missing in Mexico has been found dead, his family says.
Daniel Dion, 51, was from Sherbrooke, Que., but lived near Ottawa in the town of Carleton Place.
His sister, Johanne Dion, confirmed on Sunday that authorities have found his body, but provided no other details. Family members had flown to Mexico to help with the search.
Daniel Dion had planned a month-long stay in Acapulco and was operating a purse manufacturing company that employs Mexican prisoners. He was due to return home last week.
It's believed he had a large sum of money on him when he disappeared.
Dion had telephoned his wife last Friday, but then the family heard no further news of him.
Mexican police have confirmed that his credit cards were stolen and his personal belongings were left in his hotel room.
