HOPE — Mounties with the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP detachment in Hope continue to appeal for any information from the public after a 38-year-old man was found deceased along Highway 3 in September 2023.

On September 17, 2023 at 5:05 p.m., the Hope RCMP received a report of an unresponsive person located down an embankment in the area of Two Mile Creek along Hwy. 3 in Hope.

RCMP attended the location and found a 38-year-old man who was confirmed to be deceased. In consultation with the BC Coroners Service, the victim’s death was deemed to be suspicious in nature.

“Determining what lead to the tragic passing of this individual would help provide closure to the family which is why we are making an additional plea for the public’s assistance,” says Sgt. Mike Sargent of the Hope RCMP.

Police are asking for anyone who may have information regarding the circumstances that led to this individual’s death, or may have dash cam footage from the Two Mile Creek area along Hwy. 3 from September 15-17, 2023, to contact the Hope RCMP at 604-796-7750 or, should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477-TIPS.

The highway reopened at 9:15 a.m. on Monday morning, Sept. 18, according to Drive BC.
