FORT ST. JOHN — Mounties in Fort St John, B.C., say three suspects have been charged with manslaughter following a death earlier this week.

A statement from Fort St John RCMP says police received a report of an assault on Tuesday.

Police say they found one person unresponsive at the scene, who was later declared ded.
