Deceased man found inside New Westminster home following a check well-being request.

Background:

On August 13, 2023 at 9:34 p.m., the New Westminster Police Department (NWPD) were called to a residence in the 1000-block of Quayside Drive for a check-well being request. Members attended and located a deceased man inside the residence.
