North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP says 15-year-old Carsyn Seaweed was found in a semi-conscious state on May 15. She later died.
RCMP are investigating after a 15-year-old girl died last week in Duncan under what police are calling “suspicious circumstances.”
While police say the circumstances leading to the teen’s death are suspicious, and there is an ongoing criminal investigation, investigators are not treating it as a homicide. Seaweed said Carsyn decided to leave early, because it was too hot. She planned to take a bus to Mill Bay, where she lived with her grandmother, Seaweed said, then changed her mind and told her mother she would wait in Duncan until the soccer tournament ended.
A Cowichan Valley newspaper initially reported that police said they believed no criminality was involved in the girl’s death.“My daughter didn’t put that pallet on her. She didn’t cover herself in that dirt. She didn’t put the twigs on her. And she didn’t mean to die there. Someone put her there,” Seaweed said. “Someone left her there to die.”
