MAPLE RIDGE, British Columbia, June 26 (UPI) -- Canadian investigators found a body buried on a property in British Columbia where 1,000 marijuana plants were discovered in a house, police say.
A 55-year-old man arrested during a raid Thursday at the house in Maple Ridge was scheduled to appear in court Monday on a charge of growing marijuana, The Vancouver Sun reported.
A police dog discovered the body during the search Thursday but officers said part of the corpse was above ground.
Superintendent Dave Walsh of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the body was left buried until a forensics team could examine the grave.
"They'll bring in some people with some expertise in unearthing bodies," he said.
The man who was arrested is believed to be the only person living on the property, Walsh said, and is likely to face additional charges.
