The victim of what police are describing as a "suspicious death" in Mackenzie was 49-year-old Maurice Wallace, North District RCMP's major crimes unit said Friday.
RCMP launched an investigation Aug. 16 after a body was discovered on a property on the east side of the community of 3,500 people 186 km north of Prince George.
A 17-year-old was taken into custody and has been remanded under the Mental Health Act for assessment.
"An autopsy has been conducted this week and police are not releasing the findings," RCMP said. "This continues to be a suspicious death investigation and no charges have been laid."
The investigation remains active and ongoing, police added.
