“The RCMP along with the BC Coroner’s Service conducted an investigation,” says North District media advisory NCO, Madonna Saunderson.
“At this point, the investigation the RCMP and the Coroner’s Service have not identified anything that is criminal in nature with respect to what has caused the fire.”
