Vancouver has recorded its eighth homicide of the year after a man died following what police believe was an attack in a park in the city's Yaletown neighbourhood.
Vancouver police Sgt. Jason Robillard says the 38-year-old was found seriously injured outside a new casino near False Creek just before 1:30 a.m. on Thursday.
The victim was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery but did not survive.
A news release from Robillard says investigators traced evidence to nearby Coopers Park.
It's believed the victim was attacked there before trying to walk to the casino for help.
Robillard says no arrests have been made and police are asking for witnesses to come forward.
