Police in Saanich say they have identified a man found dead under suspicious circumstances in Oak Bay as Steven Middleton.

They say the 33-year-old's body was found on Wednesday in the 200-block of Beach Drive and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation.

Police are now asking for any footage from around Beach Drive between Cadboro Bay Village and Gonzales Bay between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday.

They say they are also looking for any information on Middleton’s activities earlier this week and are asking anyone who had recent contact with him to contact police.
