Kelowna RCMP are investigating the death of a man discovered early Saturday morning.
Corporal Jesse O'Donaghey says they were called to the 1900 block of Pacific Court, near Sutherland Avenue and Gordon Drive, just before 3:00 am, after receiving a dropped 9-1-1 call.
“Officers searched the immediate area and located a deceased male along with the cellular phone used to dial 9-1-1 and this was in a parking lot of an apartment building in the vicinity.”
The man has been identified as a 48-year-old West Kelowna resident.
While a cause of death has not yet been determined, police are treating the death as suspicious in nature.
O'Donaghey says as part of the investigation, they are looking to talk to a woman seen in the area, who they believe may possess valuable information.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cpl. Judith Bertrand of the Kelowna RCMP Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) at 250-470-6327. Or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
