Homicide investigators are working with the RCMP to gather evidence in a suspicious death in Surrey.
Shortly before 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Surrey RCMP were called to the 6900-block 127A Street, where they found an "unresponsive adult" in a nearby laneway.
The person — police aren't yet saying which gender — succumbed to their injuries.
"This manner of death is suspicious in nature," a media release from Surrey RCMP added.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in and was working in partnership with the Surrey RCMP to gather evidence.
