Police are looking for witnesses to a fight in Rossland that has resulted in the death of one person.
RCMP say they were called at about 4:40 p.m. last Thursday to a fight between two people at the intersection of Nevada Street and Dunn Crescent in Rossland.
They say one person later died in hospital, although that person was not identified.
The Southeast District Major Crime Unit is investigating. Insp. Brent Novakoski asked anyone who may have seen the incident to contact them at 1-877-987-8477.
A brief news release issued Thursday failed to address many questions, which police subsequently refused to answer. Among them:
• The gender, age, and hometown of the person who died.
• How long after the fight the death occurred.
• Why it took a week for police to notify the public.
• Whether police have identified the other person involved in the fight, and whether any arrests have been made.
• Whether a weapon was involved.
• Whether the two people knew each other.
