Terrace RCMP issue call for Dash Camera footage as part of suspicious death investigation

A suspicious death incident in the Thornhill area just east of Terrace has that city's RCMP detachment asking for the help of travellers through the area in the early hours of November 10th.

As part of their investigation the Terrace Mounties are seeking dash camera footage for those travelling along Highway 16 and its parallel roads between Midnight and 5 AM.

The area of particular interest is the strip between Highway 37 and the Thornhill sign.

The suspicious death investigation was launched after Terrace RCMP were called to respond to a report of an intoxicated pedestrian in the area at 1:45 AM on the 10th, though at that time, the subject of the call was not able to be located by members.

Just over four hours later, at 5AM, the RCMP were dispatched to a report of a man discovered in the roadway on the Thornhill Frontage Road, which is parallel to the north side of Highway 16.

The responding officers attended to the unresponsive male, who was transported to hospital by BC Ambulance service, but sadly pronounced dead a few hours later at Mills Memorial Hospital.

The male has since been identified as Blaine Frisk of Kamloops, BC and he is also the male that was the subject of the initial call from earlier in the morning on the 10th.

Should you have the footage requested, or you have more information to share about the night's events involving Mr. Frisk, you are asked to contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400, the File reference number is 19-12330

You can also call in any tips through the Crime stoppers line at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at www.terracecrimestoppers.ca
