Langley RCMP are investigating the discovery of a body this morning.

As of yet, investigators are unable to say whether the death is considered suspicious or a possible homicide.
It's very rare that we call the media out on damaging reporting but for @CKNW to post photos of dismembered body parts is #classless !!!

A local radio station posted an aerial photo of the scene that seems to show severed body parts spread out on the side of the road. The posting of the photo prompted a sharp rebuke from the Twitter account of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Investigators are saying the road will be closed for the “foreseeable future” and are asking drivers to consider other routes. The RCMP is now referring the media to IHIT for any further information.
HIT has also taken over the case, according to spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Pound and an ambulance is also on scene.
. @LangleyRCMP can't confirm at this point if body found is a homicide, can't confirm specific location, police investigating, more to come.

Police have not commented on the condition of the body, or whether the apparent remains on side of the road are indeed the body they are investigating.
No word yet if this case could be related to the murder of senior Hell’s Angel Bob Green in Langley earlier this month.
