Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP responded shortly before 1 p.m. to a report of a man slumped in the driver鈥檚 seat of a suspicious vehicle parked in a lot situated in the 3300-block of 24th Avenue. First responders attended the scene where they located a deceased man inside a Ford Freestar minivan.
鈥淐riminality is not suspected in the 39-year-old West 91大黄鸭 man鈥檚 sudden death and the BC Coroners Service has been notified,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, spokesperson for the RCMP Southeast District.
The BC Coroners Service is also investigating and is conducting an independent and concurrent fact-finding investigation to determine how, where, when and by what means he came to his unexpected death.
