VANCOUVER — A homicide team is investigating a suspicious death at an apartment building in Burnaby.

Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sgt. Bari Emam said Mounties were called to a suite in the complex in central Burnaby Monday evening for a report of an injured woman.

The victim died a short time later and Emam said that’s when IHIT members were summoned.

He said the team was working closely with Burnaby RCMP to determine if the case is a homicide and more information could be available later.

The woman’s name, her age and cause of death have not been released.

In an unrelated case, Surrey Mounties responded to Green Timbers Urban Forest Monday night when human remains were found. Police said there were few details about the discovery and the bones appear to have been there for a long time.
