Firefighters made a grisly discovery early Saturday morning, while fighting a grass fire in 91原创.

After a human body was found at about 2 a.m. Saturday morning (Aug. 5), 91原创 RCMP were called to a field adjacent to the 6000 block of Glover Road.

91原创 firefighters were extinguishing a grass fire, when they 鈥渄iscovered an obviously deceased person,鈥� said RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

The field is just to the northeast of the Esso gas station on the corner of Glover Road and the 91原创 Bypass. A canopy set up by a forensic unit was in the field near garden plots and greenhouses on the land of Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

91原创 RCMP鈥檚 serious crime section has assumed conduct of the investigation and cordoned off the area around the scene during the weekend.

Police now believe they have identified the deceased person, a woman.

Final confirmation of the person鈥檚 identity is waiting on dental records. Police have contacted the presumed victim鈥檚 family members, said Largy.

An autopsy to determine the cause of death is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 9.

While police could not say for certain that the death is not a homicide, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was not called in.

There was a homeless camp in the area, and drug paraphernalia was found near the body, said Largy.

If anyone has information that might assist with this investigation, they are asked to call 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200.
