A man well-known to Dawson Creek police was found deceased at the Subway on Alaska Avenue Wednesday.

Mounties say the body of Nathan Whynot was discoverd in restaurant’s bathroom. It’s believed he was there for approximately 4 hours before being located.

Dawson Creek police say the cause of death is not suspicious.

The mental health and addiction issues that Whynot has struggled with in the past, has led to a number of interactions with police and the court system.

He plead guilty to arson, after starting a fire in the Dawson Creek Walmart in 2020, causing $1.3 million dollars in damage.
