A woman whose body was found in a blueberry field in Pitt Meadows earlier this week may have been the victim of an animal attack.
The Conservation Officer Service said Friday that the public should take care in the area of Old Dewdney Trunk Road, near McKechnie Road, as they are working with RCMP to determine if an animal, such as a black bear, may have been involved.
Specialists from the Predator Attack Team remained at the site on Friday as the investigation continues.
