The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating a suspicious death that occurred near the UBC campus in Vancouver Wednesday evening.
RCMP officers responded to a call of a “female in medical distress” just before 11:45pm inside a residence in the 5400-block of Shortcut Road, in the University Endowment Lands.
The female died from her injuries, said police in a release. Two individuals, a man and a woman, were arrested on scene.
