Address:
A proposal to redevelop the Victoria Plaza Hotel in downtown Victoria is envisioned a six-storey new-build wing fronting onto Pandora Avenue and the addition of two-storeys above the historic four-storey hotel fronting onto Government Street. A total of 100 residences were planned along with ground floor retail spaces.
Following a May 6, 2019 fire that destroyed the entire building, the development proposal was rescinded.

so what do they do with the missing guy? does he ever get declared dead? or is he a suspect or person of interest still? or just a missing person? i suppose it's possible he caused the fire at the hotel then commited suicide elsewhere. or he's in mexico.
Missing. Can't issue a death certificate without a cause of death (see the bizarre case of Laura Babcock, who was murdered according to the courts but has not been declared dead)

Is that the legislation in place in BC though? We have the Presumption of Death Act here that basically says that if a next of kin applies to the courts to have you declared dead because you've been missing for so long and are presumed dead, that the courts can issue a death certificate.

Same process, Ontario has the Declarations of Death Act. The family can go back to court to argue that Laura is dead, but it's an odd process when the court has already found someone guilty of murdering Laura. So the process is there, but the family wants the Act changed to not require the court process when the court has already accepted that the individual has died.
