The Comox Valley community is grappling with growing concern after the discovery of a body on Friday afternoon, coinciding with the ongoing search for 40-year-old Ashley Bosma, who was reported missing earlier this week. While authorities have not confirmed the identity of the deceased, the timing has intensified fears among her family and friends.
Ashley Bosma was last in contact with her family on October 13, 2025. Since then, there has been no trace of her whereabouts, prompting an extensive search by local authorities and volunteers. She was last seen wearing pink leggings and a grey sweater, and is described as standing about 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 115 pounds, with blue eyes and hair dyed brownish purple and blonde. Her disappearance has been described by the RCMP as “highly unusual,” with officials emphasizing that her lack of contact with family is deeply concerning.
The discovery of the body occurred in the Comox Valley area, and while police have not confirmed whether it is related to Bosma’s disappearance, the investigation remains active. Authorities have stated that further examination and identification procedures are underway, and updates will be released once the deceased has been identified and the next of kin have been notified.
The Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue team has been assisting in the search since the beginning of the week, combing rural trails, wooded areas, and waterfront locations where Bosma was last believed to have been. Residents have been urged to remain alert and to report any possible sightings or relevant information that could assist in the investigation.
As the community awaits further updates, many have taken to social media to share messages of hope and support for Bosma’s family, who continue to hold onto faith for answers amid this heartbreaking uncertainty. The RCMP has urged anyone with information about Ashley Bosma’s recent activity or who may have seen her since October 13 to contact the Comox Valley RCMP or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
The discovery of the body has added a layer of urgency to the search efforts, and the community remains on edge as they await further information from authorities. The RCMP has assured the public that they are doing everything possible to determine the identity of the deceased and to provide answers to the family and the community.
As the investigation continues, the Comox Valley community stands united in their hope for clarity and justice, holding onto the hope that Ashley Bosma will be found safe and sound.
