LANGLEY – British Columbia’s Homicide Investigation Team is identifying the person who was found dead inside a burned Langley home hoping to further its investigation. 

It says the death of 47-year-old Tyler Smith has been confirmed as a homicide, adding that he had recently moved to the area.

Langley RCMP previously said they received a report of a structure fire near the intersection of 56 Avenue and Glover Road shortly after seven on Friday morning.

The Mounties confirmed a body was found inside the home once the flames were put out. 

Spokeswoman Sgt. Freda Fong says investigators are hoping to speak with anyone with information, or those who had contact with Smith in the days leading up to his death.

The homicide team says investigators believe the incident was isolated and there is no ongoing risk to the public.
