Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Jan, 2016 06:55 PM

LANGLEY, B.C. — Homicide investigators are appealing to the public for help after a man was found dead in a hotel room in Langley, B.C.

Thirty-six-year-old Kevin Brunelle was found dead in the hotel where he lived and worked (in the 20300-block of Fraser Highway) last Friday.

Police say one day earlier, he was found in the alley behind the hotel suffering from injuries he may have sustained during an assault.

Brunelle was helped back to his room and was not checked on until the following afternoon, when he was found dead, according to police.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now looking for anyone with information about Brunelle's actions leading up to the time he was found injured in the alley.

IHIT says anyone with information can call its information line or CrimeStoppers.
