RCMP update on Newcastle suspicious death

The RCMP wants to assure residents they believe there is no risk to the community, stemming from a suspicious fatality in a home in Newcastle in late April.

Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins explains Brian Le, the man found deceased, was suffering from the severe mental issues just prior to his death. 

“As the manner of this death was not witnessed, foul play cannot be completely ruled.  All avenues of investigation / information have been or continue to be investigated,” said Hopkins.  “At present, it is strongly suspected that the injuries were self inflicted.  We are still waiting on much of the scientific forensics to be completed.  These results may be months away.”
