Kamloops RCMP say the cause of death for a man found in a Valleyview dumpster earlier this month is still ongoing.

In an update Monday, Mounties say the discovery of Gregory Troy Hamilton’s body has been deemed suspicious by detectives following a recent autopsy.

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

“The circumstances are suspicious surrounding the manner in which he was discovered,” Sergeant Nestor Baird of the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit said Monday. “We are continuing to work with the BC Coroners Service to determine an exact cause of death.”

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

They’re renewing their appeal to the public for information and video to help timeline Hamilton’s last movements.

“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 said back on April 22.

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