A suspicious death in Chilliwack has led to the deployment of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

On Sunday, June 2, Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of a sudden death in the 45300-block of Chehalis Drive. Officers attended along with the BC Coroners Service and found a 50-year-old woman deceased inside a residence.

Based on observations made at the scene, the woman’s death was deemed suspicious and IHIT took conduct of the investigation. IHIT said it continues to work closely with the Chilliwack RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section and the BC Coroners Service to determine the circumstance that led to the woman’s death.

“IHIT investigators will be working with the Chilliwack RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit to advance this investigation and determine what exactly happened,” said IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti. “We’re asking anyone who has information or who had recent contact with the victim, to contact IHIT immediately.”

IHIT is asking anyone with information who has yet to speak with police, to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
