KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Serious Crime Unit has been called in to investigate a suspicious death.

Friday (Oct. 1) afternoon, Kamloops Fire and Rescue located a body after responding to a suspicious fire off Mission Flats Road, along the shoreline near the entrance to the City of Kamloops landfill. At this time, RCMP say the body has not been identified and investigators are seeking the public’s assistance to determine what happened.

“Early tips from the public are often critical to solving cases of this nature”, Cpl. Dave Marshall says. “We are requesting anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area along Mission Flats Road and the Thompson River shoreline to come forward to police. We are also looking to speak with anyone who was driving in the area and anyone that was out walking on either side of the river”.
