Burned body found by Strathmore RCMP

A burned body has been discovered outside of Calgary just north of Indus.

On Wednesday in the early morning hours a motorist called in a report of a fire to the Strathmore RCMP.

Upon arrival, and once the fire was put out, RCMP members discovered a body.

RCMP believe it was a targeted attack and now the RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation.

The body was found in Rocky View County near Township Road 233 near Highway 791.

The RCMP is asking for the public's help with any dashcam footage from the area from Wednesday between 12:30 and 2:30 a.m.

An autopsy will be completed at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Calgary today.
