Search efforts have been ongoing for Jack Crouch since he was originally reported missing to police yesterday afternoon.
Today, at approximately 1:38 p.m., a Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA) plane assisted the Saskatoon RCMP with the efforts to locate him. At approximately 1:58 p.m., the plane located a red vehicle that looked abandoned and what appeared to be a deceased individual approximately 1 km east of the vehicle, on a non-maintained roadway in the Kenaston District.
Officers were able to travel to the location and identified the male as being Jack Crouch, who was the subject of the missing persons report. He was located deceased with no physical signs of trauma.
His next of kin have been notified and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
The vehicle was also located and searched by officers. Investigation has determined there are no indications of criminality that took place.
An autopsy has been ordered by the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service.
Saskatoon RCMP, Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services, Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services, a Saskatoon Police Service aircraft, CASARA and neighbouring RCMP detachments all assisted with the search.

Around 3:00 p.m. November 8, 2022, Saskatoon RCMP received a report of a missing person.
60-year-old Jack Crouch from Kenaston and a second adult male were traveling in the general area of Highway #15 between Watrous and Kenaston. When their vehicle became stuck in the snow, the second adult male walked some distance seeking assistance. The current whereabouts of Jack are unknown.
We do not have a description of the vehicle the pair were traveling in at this time.
It is unknown if Jack received a ride from a member of the public or if he walked to get assistance.
Jack is described as being 5’10” tall, approximately 160 pounds with grey/brown hair and brown eyes. It is unknown what he was last wearing.
Search efforts are ongoing to locate Jack. With it being dark out and continued drifting and blowing snow conditions, police stress they are not seeking general public assistance with the active searches, especially if you are unfamiliar with this area.
However, we are asking people with yards or acreages in the area of Highway #15 between Watrous and Kenaston to please check outbuildings for signs of Jack. If you saw or locate any and all abandoned vehicles in this area, please call police immediately to report it.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jack is asked to contact 911 immediately.
