BURNABY, B.C. — RCMP are investigating what they say is a suspicious death of a 13-year-old girl in Burnaby, B.C.

Police say details about the death will not be released until a news conference later today.

The park, which is one of the most popular in the city, was cordoned off with caution tape Wednesday morning, and there was a large police presence in the area. All park entrances have been closed.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is leading the investigation.
