Police are still investigating an incident at The Cliffside Pub on March 2 that led to the death of a Squamish resident.
There is no new information, said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), said on Tuesday (March 11).
On Monday (March 3), Clifton Mawer, 54, died after being found unconscious at the scene of a dispute at the Cliffside early Sunday (March 2). Squamish RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance outside of the Cliffside at approximately 12:30 a.m. Although a fight was called in, when police arrived they found a group of people arguing, Squamish RCMP Sgt. Wayne Pride said, adding there was no physical altercation.
Officers were dealing with a couple of belligerent people when they were advised Mawer was lying on the ground a short distance away, he said. Mawer was rushed to the Squamish General Hospital and then transported to Vancouver General Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
No charges have been laid in the case, MacIntosh said on Tuesday. There are a lot of details to sort through, he said, noting that it could take a number of weeks.
No charges have been laid right now. I don't know if there will be, MacIntosh said, noting there may not or may not be evidence to support a charge.
