    • Woman's body found in Pitt Meadows

    Pitt Meadows, B.C. – Ridge Meadows RCMP confirm a female body was located deceased in Pitt Meadows.

    On Sunday, August 15, at around 12:40 PM, Emergency Health Services (EHS) advised Ridge Meadows RCMP of a deceased female located in a field in the 20000 block area of Old Dewdney Trunk Rd. The cause of death was not immediately apparent therefore the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was notified and attended the scene.
