The death of an off-duty RCMP officer two weeks ago is being investigated by the RCMP, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) and the BC Coroners Service, according to a spokesperson for the RCMP in B.C.
The woman s family says it is desperate for answers and a closer look at the evidence.
Lawyer Martin Peters, who is representing the officer s sister, brother and mother, says the family is also requesting a post-mortem examination of the body of Jasmine Thiara, 25, who family members say was 14½-weeks pregnant when she died.
