SURREY, B.C. — Homicide investigators have taken the lead after a body was found in a park in Surrey, B.C.

Investigators say the man was found lying in the area of Bog Park and appeared to be the victim of a gunshot wound.

The team has taken conduct of the investigation and says the area will be cordoned off all day Monday while officers collect evidence and process the scene.
