A man found dead inside a car under mysterious circumstances following a road accident in Canada’s Surrey is said to be an “Indo-Canadian” with alleged links to drug trade, media reports said.
Though the police were probing the case with all possible angles, including a murder as well as fatal accident, a local media report said the deceased was Lucky Dhanoa.
The incident took place at a residential area in the Newton area of Surrey in British Columbia on March 11.
The police said fatal injuries of the deceased were “inconsistent” with a car crash and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was looking into the ‘suspicious’ death, CBC News reported.
When the police arrived on scene, they found a man, who the media report said was Dhanoa, suffering from injuries they said were “inconsistent” with a car crash.
He was the lone occupant of the vehicle. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but died a short time later.
Dhanoa was allegedly involved in the local drug trade, and was found with drugs and money at the time of his death, according to a separate media report.
“We are in the evidence gathering stage at this time,” Sergeant Stephanie Ashton said last week.
