“At this point we are attempting to identify this man, and we ask that anyone who may know who he is or has information about this incident please call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477,” said Cpl. Stephanie Ashton.
The man is believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s and appears to be of Asian descent.
A witness staying at the hotel told Global News there is a heavy police presence in the parking lot and in the lobby. She also saw the coroner arrive on the scene.
Staff at the front desk assured the witness that none of the guests were in danger.
Investigators will be at the scene for most of Sunday as they probe the death.
