Police closed Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver on Tuesday morning for an investigation. (CBC)West Vancouver police have confirmed they are investigating the possible homicide of a woman in Lighthouse Park.
The park was closed to visitors before sunrise on Tuesday morning as forensic investigators arrived.
The woman's body was found near Juniper Point and it appeared she may have been living in the park, police confirmed. Camping is not permitted in the rugged 74-hectare park, which is located near Horseshoe Bay just off Marine Drive on the North Shore of Metro Vancouver.
The West Vancouver and Vancouver police departments were handling the investigation. The West Vancouver Police Department does not have its own homicide unit and the two forces normally work together on murder investigations in West Vancouver. Neither force is part of Metro Vancouver's regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
