Investigators have identified human remains discovered on California's Mt. Baldy over the weekend as missing actor Julian Sands.

"The identification process for the body located on Mt. Baldy on June 24, 2023, has been completed and was positively identified as 65-year-old Julian Sands of North Hollywood. The manner of death is still under investigation, pending further test results," the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

A search for Sands was launched in January after he failed to return from a hike.

"We would like to extend our gratitude to all the volunteers that worked tirelessly to locate Mr. Sands," the statement continued.
