A group of teenagers stumbled on the body of an adult man earlier that day in a wooded area south of Park Royal, according to a release issued by the West Vancouver Police Department. The man's body appeared to have been at the site for some time, according to police. The cause of death had not been confirmed.

The police department and coroner's office currently suspect no foul play.

"We're fully satisfied this is a matter of investigation for the BC Coroners Service as a non-suspicious death and ourselves and the coroner are in communication with the family and we'll be updating the family fully on all aspects of the investigation going forward," said Const. Jeff Palmer on Monday.

The identity of the man is not being released.
