What happened to Dylan Perry?
The Sundre man, who was in his early twenties, was found dead in a Dodge Challenger last month in Bearspaw.
Cochrane RCMP Corporal Mel Calahasen tells 660News, Perry was found in the driver’s seat of a car that was reported stolen.
It was in a ditch along Burma Road, just west of Bearspaw Road around 3 a.m., September 14.
“The speed allowed him to enter the ditch when he lost control,” says Calahasen. “He entered the ditch and struck a fence post that came into the vehicle and struck Mr Perry. It fatally wounded him at that point.”
Perry had been out for a night with friends at Jameson’s Irish Pub on 17th Avenue SW.
When some of his group moved on, he decided to stay at the drinking establishment.
It’s unclear on how he left or what time it was when he got into the car.
According to Calahasen, he texted a buddy around 2 a.m. to tell him he was heading home.
“That’s where we need the public’s information or at least some info where we can try to establish his history,” he says.
They’re trying to figure out a two hour time line from 1a.m. to 3, when he was ultimately found by Mounties.
The matter of the stolen vehicle is currently under investigation by the Calgary Police.
Anyone who has information is asked to contact the Cochrane RCMP (403) 851-800 or Crime Stoppers.
