The investigation into what caused two suspicious deaths inside a home in Coldstream, B.C., is ongoing and police are now asking the public for help.
Around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Vernon RCMP received a report of an assault with a weapon at a residence on the 8500-block of Clerke Road. Police say they found two people dead inside the home and another man suffering from potentially life-threatening injuries.
The injured man was taken to hospital for medical treatment and a fourth man was taken into custody.
“The initial investigation leads us to believe that this was an isolated incident and there is no ongoing risk to the public,” Sgt. Clark said.
The same day the two yet to be identified victims were discovered inside the home on Clerke Road, a burnt vehicle was found near Francis Street and Black Rock Road, in the BX area.

“While no linkage has been established with the burned vehicle, investigators are looking to determine if there is any nexus to the events at the house,” Staff Sgt. Kris Clark said in a press release.
