Police said the state the deceased was located in led investigators to believe that the body had been there for some time, and was a victim of a homicide.

“Investigators are on scene making attempts at identifying the deceased. Currently positive identification has not yet been established,” says Port Alberni RCMP Detachment Commander Inspector Eric Rochette.

The Port Alberni General Investigation Section and Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) are currently working alongside BC Coroners service to identify the deceased.

Police urge anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward with information or call the Port Alberni RCMP at (250) 723-2424.

The BC Coroners Service is also conducting a concurrent fact-finding investigation into the death.
