Officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Bechard Road in Kelowna, Oct. 18, where they found the body of a man whose death investigators said was suspicious, according to an RCMP media release.
A female suspect was arrested at the scene in connection with the investigation but was later released without charge, RCMP said.
