RCMP homicide team investigating suspicious death in Hope
A 45-year-old Chilliwack man was found dead in Hope, and police believe his death is suspicious.

When officers located the man’s body his death “appeared to be the result of a homicide,” and the homicide team took over the investigation. “We are in the beginning stages of our investigation,” the homicide team’s Sgt. Timothy Pierotti said in the release. “We’re asking anyone with information to please come forward.” Police are not revealing any further information about the victim since RCMP are still notifying his family members.
