Vancouver's 8th homicide of the year under investigation in Yaletown
A 38-year-old man has died in hospital after he was found with serious injuries outside the Parq Vancouver casino, according to police.
The man, who has been identified only as a Vancouver resident, was discovered just before 1:30 a.m. PT on Thursday.
Evidence led investigators to Cooper's Park near Marinaside Crescent and Cooperage Way in Yaletown, where it appears the victim may have been assaulted before he found his way to the casino to seek help.
Police aren't saying if a weapon was used in the attack. This is the city's eighth homicide of 2018.
The investigation is ongoing and a large crime scene has been taped off along the northeast shore of False Creek.
One person who lives in the neighbourhood told CBC News they heard arguing coming from the crime scene area last night.
No arrests have been made and the VPD is asking witnesses or anyone with information to contact them at (604) 717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
