Police have recovered a backpack, shoes and socks belonging to the man who was found dead in a Saanich driveway Saturday morning.
The body of Andrew Michael Sidor, 30, was found in front of a house at Crease Avenue and Wascana Drive just before 9 a.m. on Aug. 17. Sidor’s death has been deemed suspicious due to the nature of his injuries.
Police have released still images from surveillance video showing Sidor walking through the Rock Bay area on Thursday, Aug. 15. According to police, Sidor was still wearing the same clothes seen in the footage when he died but his black backpack and white lace-up runners were missing.
