Human remains were found by hikers near the location where British actor Julian Sands went missing. The San Bernardino County sheriff’s department in southern California announced that the identification of the remains would be completed by next week.

Sands, known for his roles in films such as “A Room With A View” and TV shows like “24” and “Smallville,” disappeared on January 13 while hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, north of Los Angeles. The 65-year-old actor, originally from Otley, West Yorkshire, went missing in the Baldy Bowl area during inclement weather.

The sheriff’s department confirmed that civilian hikers reported the discovery of the human remains in the Mt Baldy wilderness but did not provide further details.

Sands’s family expressed gratitude to the search teams and coordinators who dedicated their efforts to finding him, and they remembered him as a beloved father, husband, explorer, lover of nature and the arts, and a talented performer.
