A man found dead on the street in Burnaby has been identified, and investigators believe his death is linked to the drug trade.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Unit says 51-year-old Joseph Vincent Morrissey of Vancouver died under suspicious circumstances. Morrissey's body was found Monday (in the 6700-block of Fourth Street) and police say his injuries are consistent with foul play.
Sergeant Frank Jang is appealing for pedestrians or anyone with dash-camera footage to contact IHIT if they were in the area of Lakefield Drive and Fourth Street and happened to see any suspicious activity between 4 a-m and 7:20 a-m on Monday.
