Private investigator Mike Toth was hired by the family, and told the Calgary Eyeopener Collin had wandered off from the party on a property about 18 kilometres outside of Billings.

"At one point late in the night, Cam was pretty intoxicated, so the rest of the bachelor party left him alone in the barn and said they were going to go into town," Toth said Thursday.

"The last they saw him, he was sleeping in a chair. When they came back, about an hour and a half later, he was gone. His suitcase and jacket were still laying there, but Cam was nowhere to be found."

A sheriff's office press release issued Saturday said there has been no indication of foul play during its ongoing investigation.

An autopsy will be done Monday to determine the cause of death.
