Officers and B.C. Emergency Health Services paramedics attended the park shortly after 6 a.m. on Wednesday after receiving a report about an unresponsive person. Police later confirmed the person has died.

The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed to Black Press Media that they were called to attend the scene. A spokesperson said they are currently unable to provide any further information on the incident since they’re early in their investigation.
