Police are investigating a suspicious death after a man was found with fatal wounds on a trail in Port Coquitlam, B.C.

RCMP received reports Saturday night about a body that was discovered near the Hyde Creek Recreation Centre at around 10 p.m. PT.

They say officers found a man on a trail with serious injuries described as being consistent with foul play.

The man received medical attention, but died at the scene.

Investigators with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have taken over the case because of the nature of the man's injuries.

Police say the man has not yet been identified and an autopsy will be required to determine the cause of death.

"The priority of the investigation is to identify the victim," said IHIT spokeswoman Cpl. Meghan Foster.

Foster said a trail user discovered the man and called for help. She said police don't know if the killing was random or targeted.

Anyone who used the trail Saturday night or who has information about the death is asked to call police.
