Homicide team takes over after Surrey man found dead in car

Police say a 29-year-old missing Surrey man found dead in a car last night was the victim of a homicide.

The victim has been identified as 29-year-old Vimal Chand, who disappeared last weekend.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case.

"I can confirm that the body of the young man located inside the car was that of 29 -year-old Vimal Chand of Surrey. This investigation is in the very early stages and the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Chand are yet to be determined," said IHIT Cpl. Bari Emam.

The body was spotted inside the car by a resident of Surrey's Newton neighbourhood who said the vehicle had been parked on the street for three or four days.

Police say the car was parked near Hyland Elementary School, near 66th Avenue and 140th Street.

Chand had a criminal record, including a conviction for assault with a weapon, but his sister described him as a family man who hadn't been leading a high risk lifestyle.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
