(Original story: December 14th at 9:40 am) – The Kelowna RCMP made a difficult discovery in responding to a report of disruption this weekend.
The officers were called to a residence on the 1700 block of Highway 33 at around 9:15 p.m. Sunday.
When they got to the scene, they found a 27-year-old man dead in front of the townhouse.
“The investigation is in the early stages and the officers will be in the area indefinitely,” said Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy.
“This tragic incident appears to be inherently isolated and we do not believe it poses a threat to the general public.”
Police detained an adult suspect at the time, but no charges were brought.
The RCMP’s primary crime in Kelowna has taken over the investigation, but the BC Coroners Service has also launched its own investigation into the death.
No further information is being released at this time, but the RCMP is encouraging anyone with information or additional witnesses to call 250-762-3300.
