The identity of the deceased is being withheld while police notify next of kin. Meanwhile, RCMP are asking anyone who was in the area during the early hours of Monday morning to check for dash cam footage. Anyone with info can call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 and reference file number 2023-35764, or dial Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
