The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) is currently investigating another homicide, this most recent one in Bowser.
RCMP says that frontline officers were called to assist BC Ambulance at approximately 4 a.m. on August 31 after receiving a report that there was an injured person in the 5000-block of Thompson Clark Drive West in Bowser.
Upon arrival, members located a person suffering from serious injuries already being treated by both BC Ambulance and the Fire Department. Sadly this individual later succumbed to their injuries,
says Sergeant Chris Manseau, Division Media Relations Officer for the BC RCMP.
VIIMCU has been notified and is now investigating. While we are still in the preliminary stages of the investigation, police believe this was an isolated incident, one person is in custody and there is no ongoing risk to the general public
.
The BC Coroners Service is also conducting a concurrent fact-finding investigation into this unexpected death, says RCMP.
Due to the privacy of the deceased, a name has not been released to the public at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit information line at 250-380-6211.
This is the most recent in a string of homicides on Vancouver Island including one investigation ongoing in Victoria and one mother who has been taken into custody after shooting her son in Port Alberni.
