Members of his family have been notified and Veterans Affairs Canada is providing support as final arrangements are made.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says we will remember Sergeant Shaunghnessy as one of over 2000 brave Canadians who gave their lives in the Battle of Hill 70.
Sergeant Shaughnessy will be buried at Loos British Cemetery in France later this year by his regiment.
