VANCOUVER – Police say two online escorts have been found dead within two weeks in the same apartment complex in New Westminster, B.C.

RCMP Sgt. Jennifer Pound says Mounties are awaiting toxicology results for 45-year-old Jill Lyons, whose body was discovered in her apartment on Aug. 12.

The second escort, 48-year-old Karen Nabors, was found dead in her suite on Aug. 25.
