Police say a dog that fell to its death in downtown Vancouver may have been deliberately thrown from a window.
Vancouver Police say officers responded to a call and found the dead dog in the laneway beside the Molson Hotel at around 2 p.m. on Friday.
Sgt. Steve Addison said investigators spoke to witnesses and reviewed security video and believe the dog may have been thrown from the window.
He said the SPCA has been notified and is conducting a concurrent investigation.
No charges have been laid in the incident at the six-storey building, which provides supportive housing for individuals at risk of homelessness in the Downtown Eastside.
On Friday, photos posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, showed a dog鈥檚 paws protruding from a cardboard box on the pavement.
The pictures have since been deleted.
