BURNABY, B.C. — The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is asking for the public's help in determining a timeline of events that led to what they say was a woman's suspicious death.
The team says RCMP responded to a crash late Friday on Barnet Highway, a busy route along the north side of Burnaby Mountain.
They say both a man and woman were found at the scene and the single-vehicle crash involved a 2017 charcoal grey Kia Sorento sport-utility vehicle.
The team says the man is expected to make a full recovery, but the woman, identified as 34-year-old Nicole Hasselmann of Burnaby, had injuries indicative of foul play and later died in hospital.

Anyone with information is asked to come forward and investigators are specifically interested in speaking with anyone who saw the woman or her vehicle on Friday along the 7000-block of Ridgeview Drive in Burnaby, the 200-block of College Park Way in Port Moody or the 8000-block of Barnet Highway in Burnaby.
Police say they do not believe the incident was random and there appears to be no risk to public safety.
"The development of the victim's timeline is important in any homicide investigation and it is proving to be crucial in this case," IHIT Corp. Frank Jang said in a statement.
