WHISTLER (NEWS1130) – RCMP in Whistler are investigating a pair of apparently unrelated stabbings that took place less than a day apart over the Victoria Day long weekend.
Officers responded to reports of a stabbing (on Whistler Way) shortly before midnight on Sunday.
A 19-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Vancouver to be treated for multiple stab wounds.
Fewer than 24 hours earlier, officers in the mountain resort town responded to the stabbing of another 19-year-old man.
Police found the teenager (near Main Street) suffering from life-threatening injuries early Sunday morning. He was taken to hospital and later died.
Police say the two stabbing incidents do not appear to be related.
