One person has been charged with second degree murder following a suspicious death last month.

On June 20th, police responded to a report of a sudden death at home and quickly developed concerns surrounding the circumstances.

Comox Valley RCMP officers had the residence secured for several days to conduct a thorough forensic examination.

An autopsy has since confirmed that the death was a homicide.

37 year old Cameron McIndoe of the Comox Valley has been charged with second degree murder.

He was arrested last week and remains in custody.

Police say the accused and victim were known to each other and at no point during the investigation was there any indication of a risk to the broader public.

Comox Valley RCMP Staff Sergeant Jonah Todd says the Major Crime Unit continues its investigation as the matter proceeds through the courts.
