A death in a Port Alberni apartment is being treated as a homicide.

RCMP were called after a body was discovered in a building in the 3200 block of Third Avenue on Tuesday.

“The state the body was located in led investigators to believe that the body had been there for some time, and was a victim of a homicide,” police said.

Port Alberni RCMP detectives, the Vancouver Island Major Crime Unit and the B.C. Coroner’s service were working to identify the deceased Wednesday.
