New Westminster – On September 16, 2014 at 4:30pm, the New Westminster Police Department attended a residence in the 1100 block of Nanaimo Street for a male found deceased within the residence.

We are currently canvassing the area, speaking with witnesses and processing the scene,” says Staff Sergeant Jennifer Pound. “IHIT is aware that the victim’s family have been notified of his death through various channels; however, IHIT has yet to speak with the family and until we do confirmation on his identity, will not be released.”
