CPR was performed on a man found in a Maple Ridge house. A domestic incident might be associated with the death of a 59-year old Maple Ridge, B.C. man.
Timely assistance
Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sgt. Jennifer Pound stated that the Mounties were called to the suburban Vancouver house just after 2 AM. The paramedics performed CPR on the unnamed victim but were not unable to resuscitate him.
Police believe that the man was involved in a domestic dispute just before he died and Pound stated that the investigators want to know if that played a part in the suspected homicide.
