Fredericton police found the body of Richard Vaughan on Friday, 10 days after the New Brunswick writer was reported missing. Friends and family had been searching the city over the past week for the celebrated writer and queer artist, after police put out a call for help on Oct. 13. Jenna Lyn Albert, Fredericton's poet laureate, met Vaughan during his time at UNB and had been working with him on an anthology of queer writers from New Brunswick. "I'm heartbroken and I think that's the case for a lot of Richard's friends and family right now," she said. Albert said Vaughan was highly involved in the community, making his absence immediately felt once he went missing.
