The RCMP have confirmed two B.C. murder suspects died in what appears to be suicide by gunfire.
The Manitoba medical examiner has also confirmed the two dead men were Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky.
Their bodies were found in Manitoba on August 7th.
The RCMP say it appears they were dead for several days before they were found but, the exact time and date of their deaths are not known.
There are strong indications they had been alive for a few days after they were last spotted in July and during the extensive search in the Gillam area.

Guns found with the dead men are being examined to see if they were used in the northern BC homicides.
The manhunt for the B.C. teens began following the suspicious deaths of Leonard Dyck, Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese in July.
Investigators are now assessing all of the items found in Manitoba, along with the what they learned in the three northern BC homicide investigations, to gain more clarity into what happened to Leonard Dyck, Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese.
The assessment will review everything they have including statements, evidentiary timelines, physical or digital evidence, and the British Colombia RCMP have also have engaged the Behavioural Analysis Unit to help in this process.
