A 28-year-old Surrey man has been charged with manslaughter and indignity to human remains more than two years after a suspicious death in Delta, B.C.
The Delta Police Department announced the charges against Travis Gallant in a news release Thursday, though online court records show he was charged in November 2024 and remains in custody.
The department said Gallant was arrested that same month.
CTV News has reached out to the DPD to ask why it waited until Thursday to issue a news release about the charges. This story will be updated if a response is received.
The charges against Gallant stem from “what was reported as the overdose death of an 18-year-old woman” on Feb. 2, 2022, police said in their release.
“The death was determined to be suspicious, and an investigation followed,” they added.
The DPD said Gallant and the deceased woman were known to each other and there is no risk to the public.
Gallant’s next court appearance is scheduled for March 11 in Surrey.
