The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called after a man’s body was found on a Burnaby trail Sunday night.

Mounties found the deceased while responding to reports of gunfire in the area of Byrne Creek Trail around 8 p.m., but the RCMP would not confirm whether the shooting is the suspected cause of death Monday.

“As police are in the evidence gathering phase, no further details are available at this time,” Sgt. Derek Thibodeau said in a release.

IHIT will be partnering with the Burnaby RCMP detachment on the case.

The RCMP doesn’t believe the incident is connected to any other ongoing investigations in the city.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
