VANCOUVER -- Homicide investigators are in Langley after a 67-year-old man was found dead on Christmas Eve.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team posted on Twitter shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday, saying a team was on 224 Street, close to 28 Avenue.

They said the man, Dennis Johnston, was found on Dec. 24 and asked the public to send in information about his activities before that day. 

IHIT did not indicate how Johnston died. 

In subsequent tweets posted after 5:30 p.m., investigators provided more information, saying they believe Johnston was at a social gathering earlier in the day on Christmas Eve. Anyone who saw him there is encouraged to get in touch with IHIT.

IHIT said it believes Johnston's death is an isolated incident and not related to the ongoing gang conflict in the Lower Mainland.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call IHIT's information line at 877-551-4448.
