Homicide investigators have identified the man whose body was found burned in a vehicle fire earlier this week in Burnaby as Randy Joseph Chan, 23, of Coquitlam. Chan's remains were found inside the vehicle on Wednesday by an ICBC investigator. However, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said the vehicle was too damaged to conduct a thorough investigation on scene, so it was taken to a tow yard in Burnaby. An RCMP arson investigator examined the vehicle the next day, but didn't find the body and requested an ICBC investigator make an independent examination. "The Burnaby RCMP will conduct a review of the actions taken by the arson investigator and determine whether any practices or procedures may be improved upon," said de la Gorgendiere.
