Kelowna RCMP have cordoned a section of a vacant lot near Prospera Place following the discovery of a body.

All police are saying right now is that the body is that of a man and they’re working on identifying the individual.

The body was found at around 6 p.m. by an RCMP officer who knew the victim and had not seen him for some time.
