A body in an “advanced state” was found in a remote corner of Sea Island Saturday morning.
The YVR detachment of the Richmond RCMP were first on scene around 10:30 a.m.
According to the RCMP, identifying the body may take a while because of its “advanced state.”
Accessibility to the area, in the southwest corner of Sea Island where it was found, is limited.
“Our investigation is currently in its infancy,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang in a release. “The BC Coroners Services is assisting along with our community partners at YVR Airport Authority.”
