“A body was found near the alley running behind 170 Carson Crescent. We are at the very early stages of this investigation. We do know this is a criminal matter and not someone who simply died from exposure,” Pillay explains. “The identity, gender, age, race are all unknown at this early stage. We expect there are witnesses out there who may be able to help us. We are asking anyone with information about who this person is to please contact Kamloops RCMP.”

If you know who this person is, know anything about the circumstances of the death, or saw any suspicious activity in this area, call Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
