92-year-old Vancouver man dies after assault "by multiple people" in downtown alley

Vancouver police are investigating the death of a 92-year-old man who was found injured in a Downtown Eastside alley on March 18.

Police said the victim, a Chinatown resident, was found in medical distress that afternoon in a lane behind the Carnegie Community Centre, near Main and East Hastings. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance for medical treatment and died in the hospital on March 31.

Police said the 92-year-old victim told his family he was going to use the washroom at the Carnegie Centre.

When he didn’t return after 20 minutes, they went looking for him, unaware he had ended up in the alley.

Two hours later, they received a call from the hospital.
