Man found dead in Charlie Lake home following standoff

CHARLIE LAKE, B.C. — The Independent Investigations Office of BC has been called in after officers of the RCMP’s North District Emergency Response Team found a man dead inside a Charlie Lake residence late last night.

The home was the site of a police stand off that lasted 12 hours yesterday.

RCMP received a report of a domestic disturbance on Sunday afternoon, where a woman had escaped the home. But a man, and their two-year-old son, were still inside.

According to officers, the child is unharmed.

IIOBC will be investigating to determine if the injuries the man received are connected to police action.
