Two women have been found dead in English Bay since Sunday, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
Police said on Monday that officers found a woman’s body on the shoreline near the Kitsilano Yacht Club around 1:30 pm.
“The cause of her death has not been determined, and it is not yet known whether her death is the result of a crime,” VPD said.
The tragic discovery comes just a day after police found another woman’s body around 10 am Sunday at Sunset Beach. The cause of her death has also not been determined. BC Coroners Service said it is investigating this death, “however because it’s an open investigation,” it was not able to share any specific details with Daily Hive.
Investigators from VPD’s Major Crime Section are working to determine if either death was a result of a crime.
Both women remain unidentified at this time.
