Serious Crime Unit investigating after body found in downtown Nanaimo

Jan 2, 2017 | 1:24 PM

Nanaimo RCMP say their Serious Crime Unit is investigating after a man’s body was found in the parking lot of a downtown business.

Const. Gary O’Brien says their members were on scene for much of the morning after a man’s body was discovered by a customer around 8 a.m. Monday. 

Witnesses report the body was found lying between two cars in front of the Budget Car and Truck Rental on Terminal Avenue, near Comox Road.

“At this point it’s too early to say what caused death,” said O’Brien.
