Police say the discovery of a man’s body in Surrey on Wednesday was a result of foul play and are working to uncover his identity.

Around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Surrey police and firefighters responded to calls of a body found by the side of the road in the 6100 block of 156 Street. An adult male was pronounced dead at the scene.
