Police are investigating after a young man was declared dead at Stanley Park.
At about 4:20 a.m. on Sunday, May 24th, Vancouver Police responded to reports of a body on the seawall near Siwash Rock. After officers and paramedics arrived, the 23-year-old man was declared dead at the scene.
The investigation is still in its early stages, but Vancouver Police say it’s believed the man was at a rave in a secluded area in Stanley Park along Merilees Trail above Siwash Rock. There, they believe he fell down the cliffs to his death.
The death appears to be accidental at this time.
Investigators are looking for and speaking with witnesses. Police say they’ll be working closely with the BC Coroners Service to confirm the young man’s cause of death and see whether alcohol or drugs played a role.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Vancouver Police.
