Search ends for missing Calgary woman found dead in Saskatchewan

Mounties say an 82-year-old Calgary woman reported missing in Saskatchewan was found dead on Saturday.

Diane Cooper was found by the RCMP in the RM of Grandview, near Kindersley, Sask, at around 7:40 p.m. on April 18.

Her dog Halo, a dalmatian believed to be with her, was found safe.

Officers add that her death isn’t deemed suspicious.

“RCMP sends condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Cooper,” a release reads. She was reported missing on April 7.

The last reported sighting of her was shortly before 11 p.m. on April 6, when she was captured driving her vehicle through Hoosier, Sask.

Cooper’s granddaughter Zoe had been searching for her grandmother by following AirTags attached to her vehicle.

She posted on social media on Sunday that “they have been found.”

“Our grandma has unfortunately passed away. While this is not entirely unexpected, we are absolutely brokenhearted,” she said.

“By some miracle, our dog Halo has survived.

“We are so deeply grateful to everyone who helped search, shared posts, and showed us kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time. It has meant more to us than we can express.”
