​A body has been found in the 7300 block of Sandborne Avenue, about a block away from the Edmonds SkyTrain station in Burnaby.

The Integrated Homicide investigation team has been called to the scene.

Burnaby RCMP had been searching the area since just after after 8:00 pm P.T. Sunday after responding to reports of shots fired.

Police say their search of the area, which included the Byrne Creek Trail, continued until the following morning when the body was discovered.

The area will be blocked off for a "significant amount of time," police said in a statement.

Police say they don't believe the incident is connected to any other ongoing Burnaby RCMP investigation.
