File # 2025-11486

On April 18, 2025, at approximately 7:24 am, the Langley RCMP received a report of a structure fire located in 20500 block of 56 Avenue. After the fire was extinguished, one individual was located deceased inside the residence.

At this early stage of the investigation, it is unknown how the individual died, and their death is being treated as suspicious until deemed otherwise, said Sergeant Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has since assumed conduct of the investigation.

IHIT is working in partnership with the Langley RCMP, fire investigators and the BC Coroners Service to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Investigators are completing priority tasks which include canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses and video surveillance.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
