Body found in Ben Lee Park

A body has been recovered from a popular Rutland park.

A woman and her daughter on their way to play basketball at Ben Lee Park came across the body of a 45-year-old man, Sunday evening.

Police were called to 900 Houghton Road about 6:30 p.m., where they discovered a deceased Kelowna man in the multi-purpose court at the park.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Joe Duncan says foul play is not suspected at this time.

“An autopsy has been scheduled, and the B.C. Coroners Service is now investigating and will release a name in the coming days,” said Duncan.

Based on evidence at the scene and information given to police, foul play was ruled out in the cause of death.
