The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says a suspicious death in New Westminster appears to be an isolated incident.
Around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, the New Westminster Police Department was called to the 1400 block of Salter Street for a report of a sudden death.
“Upon police attendance, a 38-year-old female was located deceased under suspicious circumstances,” said a NWPD news release.
The New Westminster Police Department contacted IHIT, which is leading the investigation.
Staff Sgt. David Lee said IHIT is still investigating this incident as a suspicious death.
“IHIT is utilizing its own resources, and those from New West PD, and their Forensic Identification Services to determine what happened. I can’t provide any more information than that at this point,” he said in a statement to the Record. “This appears to be an isolated incident, so canvassing is at minimum for now.”
According to Lee, the investigation is in its early stages.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448).
