Police say homicide investigators are taking control of the probe into a man’s death in Surrey, B.C., on Saturday, and a suspect has been arrested.

A statement from the Surrey Police Service says RCMP officers with the Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit were called to help paramedics and firefighters responding to an injured and unresponsive man in the 9800 block of Foxglove Drive, a short distance from the Mounties’ “E” Division headquarters.

Police say paramedics tried to save the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

While the investigation is in its early stages, police say it appears to be an isolated incident, with a suspect taken into custody.

Police say the BC Prosecution Service has yet to approve charges.
