RCMP at the University of British Columbia say a family dog discovered human remains in Pacific Spirit Park Friday.

Police say they are now searching the area near Imperial Drive and West 16th Avenue. However, thick forest underbrush, deep snow and ice are hindering their efforts.

Police are asking anyone who has seen or knows of suspicious activity in Pacific Spirit Park to contact them.

Police say the remains are likely a few months old. The area is popular with dog walkers, and there has been some homeless activity in the nearby woods as well.
Liz, who preferred to be identified by her first name only, often walks her dog in the park.
“It makes people worried about walking alone and being in the woods by themselves, and it should be a beautiful, sacred place to take your dog for a walk,” she said. “My first reaction makes me feel very sad that there’s a dead body in the woods here.”
