Kamloops RCMP have identified the person found dead in a Valleyview dumpster on Thursday night as Gregory Troy Hamilton.

Hamilton – who also went by the alias Troy Hamilton and the nickname ‘Monster’ – was found in a dumpster between two apartment buildings on the 1900-block of Curlew Drive around 11:30 p.m. on April 20

Mounties say they are still working on determining whether the death is suspicious.

“Troy was a transient resident in both the Kamloops and 100 Mile House communities,” Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit, Sgt. Nestor Baird said. “We are asking members of the public to please have a look at his picture and contact us if they have any information related to his recent movements or recognize him as someone they saw around their neighbourhood.”

“Collecting as much information as possible from the days leading up to his death will help us timeline his last movements as part of the investigation into what transpired.”

Kamloops RCMP say members of their Serious Crime Unit, the General Investigation Support Unit, Forensic Identification Services Unit, and Frontline Officers are all investigating Hamilton’s death.

“If you live or work in the Valleyview area, please take a few minutes to review any dash cam footage or security video you may have for the last couple of weeks to see if it captured any of Troy’s movements, even if the images may have seemed insignificant at the time,” Baird added.

The BC Coroners Service is also investigating, with an autopsy scheduled to help determine a cause of death.

Mounties say there is no further information available at this time.

They’re asking anyone with information to contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2023-13551.
