B.C.'s police watchdog is investigating after a body was found in an Oak Bay creek on Saturday.
Police were called to Bowker Creek near the Oak Bay Recreation Centre around 9:30 a.m. after a passerby discovered the deceased woman.
On Monday, police confirmed it was an elderly woman who has been identified and whose family has been notified.
Oak Bay police say there is no reason to suspect foul play at this time.
The Independent Investigations Office is investigating because a police officer had an interaction with the woman on Friday, officials say.
"In keeping with the memorandum of understanding with the IIO, we notified the IIO right away and they are now asserting jurisdiction," said Oak Bay Deputy Chief Ray Bernoties.
Bee Street in front of the rec centre was closed for several hours.
The woman's cause of death is still under investigation.
