2nd woman found dead in English Bay: Vancouver police

For the second time in as many days, a woman's body was found near Vancouver's shoreline Monday.

Police and the coroner were called in around 1:30 p.m. after a deceased woman was found near the Kitsilano Yacht Club.

“We don’t know how she died, we don’t know who she is, and we have not determined whether or not her death was the result of a crime,” Vancouver Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison told CTV News.

The discovery of the body came just over 24 hours after another woman was found dead in the water off of Sunset Beach.

Police say they’ve yet to identify either women but describe them both as “young.”

Investigators will now look to determine if there’s any connection between the deaths, and whether foul play was involved.

“We understand there’s going to be a cause of concern for the community, and quite likely a cause of speculation about how they died and how they ended up on the beaches,” said Addison.

“Certainly if, during the course of our investigation, we determine that there's a cause for people to be concerned for public safety, we'll be the first to let people know that."
