BURNABY, B.C. — RCMP in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby say the death of an eight-year-old girl who fell from a highrise is not considered suspicious.

Cpl. Daniela Panesar says the child fell from a window and investigators believe it is a “tragic incident.”

Panesar says Mounties arrived at the apartment building at about 2 p.m. on Saturday and confirmed the girl had died of her injuries.

She says the detachment’s victim services workers are providing support for her family members, who have asked for privacy.
