VANCOUVER -- Police have identified a man found dead in a Chilliwack parking lot Saturday night as Charles Henry Klose, a 58-year-old homeless man who was often in Chilliwack's downtown.
Klose's body was found by a member of the public at around 11 p.m. Saturday behind a Scotia Bank at 46059 Yale Road in Chilliwack, according to IHIT.
His body has wounds"indicative of homicide," IHIT said in a release.
“What we know of Charles so far is that he led a transient lifestyle and was known to frequent the downtown Chilliwack area. We believe many knew him in that community,” Sgt. Frank Jang, a spokesperson for IHIT, said in a statement.

IHIT is now asking for the public's help in the investigation.
