An investigation confirmed that it was Sands whose remains hikers found Saturday in the wilderness near Mount Baldy.
Crews aided by drones and helicopters had searched for him several times, but, severely hampered by wintry conditions that lasted through spring, no sign of him was found until the civilian hikers came upon him.
Sands, who was born, raised and began acting in England, worked constantly in film and television, amassing more than 150 credits in a 40-year career. During a 10-year span from 1985 to 1995, he played major roles in a series of acclaimed films. The following year he appeared in director David Cronenberg's surreal adaptation of the William Burroughs novel"Naked Lunch" in 1991.
In 1995's"Leaving Las Vegas,” Sands played an abusive Latvian pimp alongside Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue. The film was nominated for four Oscars, with Cage winning best actor. After"Leaving Las Vegas,” the quality of the films Sands was cast in, and the size of his roles, began declining. He worked steadily, appearing in director Wim Wenders’"The Million Dollar Hotel” and director Dario Argento’s"The Phantom of the Opera.”
