    VANCOUVER — Police are investigating after the body of a young man was found at the base of a seaside cliff in Vancouver's Stanley Park.
     
    Officers responded to calls about a body found on the seawall walkway (near Siwash Rock) shortly after 4 a.m. on Sunday.
     
    A 23-year-old man was declared dead at the scene.
