A news release from the North Cowichan/Duncan detachment confirms the teen was found south of Duncan on May 15, semi-conscious and ‘under suspicious circumstances’
RCMP on Vancouver Island say an investigation into the death of a 15-year-old girl in Duncan, B.C., earlier this month has been an “extreme priority” for officers.
She died a short time later in hospital and the release says officers have thoroughly assessed the scene where she was found and have carried out a “fulsome investigation” that includes an ongoing criminal probe. A statement posted Thursday on the Cowichan Tribes website said the chief and council are “sending their love and condolences to the family of a 15-year-old youth with ties to Cowichan who passed away last week.”
