Kelowna Mounties said on Friday morning that they do not suspect any criminality is involved in the death of a woman whose body was found on the Mission Creek Greenway.
The park was closed for much of Thursday after parkgoers discovered the body in the Mission Creek Park and Mission Creek Greenway area, and police cordoned off access for an investigation.
“In partnership with the BC Coroners Service, a full and comprehensive investigation is being conducted,” Cpl. Michael Gauthier said in a brief statement.
“Out of respect for the privacy (of) the deceased and her family, no further details will be released at this time.”
In other news about Mission Creek Greenway Regional Park, the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) said a section of it will be closed for two weeks to repair previous flood damage.
The RDCO says from Monday, April 3, to Friday, April 14, the trail will be closed upstream from the Hollywood Road parking lot and the Smoothing Stones bridge.
“Crews are wrapping up flood-related trail restoration work along this section and will be hydroseeding and planting.,” said the RDCO. “They will also install new boardwalks between the Cedars and Smoothing Stones bridges.”
The RDCO is asking visitors to stay out of closed areas and to be aware of trucks and heavy equipment accessing the work area.
The closed section, however, will be open evenings and through the upcoming long weekend, Friday, April 7 to Monday, April 10.
