The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called to North Vancouver on Tuesday after two people were found dead.
Investigators have now confirmed that the deceased are two females, one adult and one school-aged child.
“Police believe the two were known to one another and are not looking for any other suspects at this time,” Cpl. Esther Tupper of IHIT said in a release.
“There is no ongoing risk to the public and this is an isolated incident.”
RCMP officers were first called at 4:30 a.m. to an apartment complex in the 100 block of East Esplanade Avenue after reports that two people had fallen from a balcony.
Officers arrived and found the two females suffering from injuries from the fall.
First responders, including fire and BC Ambulance Service, immediately began lifesaving measures but both succumbed to their injuries.
The homicide team has now taken over the investigation.
