RCMP in Surrey, B.C., say its officers are helping the fire department investigate a blaze in a home where a man's body was found on Sunday.

The identification of the man who died hasn't been confirmed. 

RCMP says in a statement that it is working with a fire inspector to investigate the cause, although it's not believed it's suspicious.
