A man has died after he was assaulted in Mount Pleasant earlier this month, according to Vancouver police.
The assault happened on June 2 near Main Street and 1st Avenue, but police didn’t alert the public at the time because it would have hindered the investigation, Const. Tania Visintin told Daily Hive.
