British actor Julian Sands has been found dead after going missing in the San Gabriel mountains in Southern California in January, investigators announced Tuesday, according to CNN.

Sands, known for his work in shows like “24” and movies like “A Room with a View” and “The Killing Fields”, was 65.

“The manner of death is still under investigation, pending further test results,” the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. “We would like to extend our gratitude to all the volunteers that worked tirelessly to locate Mr. Sands.”

The actor had been the subject of an ongoing search in the Mt. Baldy area since he failed to return from a hike on January 13.

Human remains had been found in the area where authorities had been searching for Sands last week. The sheriff confirmed on Tuesday that they had been identified as Sands’.
