Landslide in British Columbia caught on camera, Johnsons Landing in British Columbia on Friday, July 13


The body of one of four people believed to have been trapped under a landslide in southeastern British Columbia has been found, authorities said Sunday evening as they announced the rescue mission is now a recovery effort.
The B.C. Coroners Service is taking over the operation following the "reluctant" decision that "there was no longer any hope that anyone who had been caught in the slide could be found alive," the service said in a statement.
Three people remain unaccounted for.
At least three homes are thought to have been engulfed in Thursday's landslide in Johnsons Landing, B.C., which authorities believe trapped four people. (Bob Keating/CBC)News and photos here.
