The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called to Surrey.
IHIT says Mounties were called to the Clayton Heights area of 76 Avenue and 188 Street just after 11 p.m. Wednesday for reports of a “man in medical distress” at a home.
When officers arrived, the 47-year-old was found to have suffered life-threatening injuries.
Despite efforts to save the man, the victim died of his injuries. The nature of his death is believed to be suspicious.
“We are still in the early stages of the investigation,” said Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. “Officers have been working throughout the night to locate witnesses who could help shed light on this situation. At this time the motive is unknown, but it (is) believed there are no ties to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.”
