The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) is investigating the death of a 33-year-old man in Duncan early Saturday morning.
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP said they responded to a report of an injured man downtown, near the corner of Kenneth and Jubilee streets, around 3 a.m., where police found a man with stab wounds.
The man was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.
“Police have been able to identify the deceased as a 33-year-old man from Duncan and efforts are underway to notify next of kin,” BC RCMP Dawn Roberts said in a media release.

A two-block area around Kenneth and Jubilee streets was cordoned off and forensic identification services were on the scene Saturday along with police to search the area for physical or digital evidence. The scene has since been cleared.
Roberts said there is no information to indicate there is a danger to the public and asked anyone who may have any information related to the incident to call VIIMCU at 250-380-6211.
