MERRITT, B.C. — A 63-year-old man was found dead at a home in Merritt last week. 

In an update distributed Thursday (Feb. 26), BC RCMP’s Southeast District Major Crime Unit (SED MCU) identifies the victim as Clive Hack. The Mounties are releasing Hack’s name to advance the investigation, as police believe his death is criminal in nature. 

“Our investigators are working diligently to determine what happened and we are asking anyone who may have information to reach out,” Sgt. Robert Kee, acting SED MCU Commander states.  “Even information that seems minor could help move this investigation forward.” 

On Friday (Feb. 20), Merritt RCMP Staff Sgt. Josh Roda told Q101 Merritt there was an isolated incident and frontline officers were called to 1990 Houston St.
