COQUITLAM RCMP are asking anyone who may have information regarding a suspicious death reported on Tuesday, April 16 to contact investigators.

On April 16 shortly before 8 a.m., police responded to a suspicious death report at a residence on Burns Road near Dominion Avenue in Port Coquitlam. Police located a woman in her late 20’s deceased inside the residence.

During the initial stages of the investigation, Burns Road was temporarily closed between Dominion Avenue and Prairie Avenue in Port Coquitlam.

This file has been assumed by Coquitlam General Investigative Services (GIS), who have notified the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

This is believed to be an isolated incident, not connected to any gang-related conflict. There is no risk to the public.

“Until the circumstances that led to the woman’s death can be confirmed, Coquitlam GIS will continue to lead the investigation while liaising with IHIT,” said Media Relations Officer, Cpl. Alexa Hodgins. “Investigators believe that there are people who may have critical information about this suspicious death and are asking those individuals to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.”
