No charges over death of 51-year-old man who broke into B.C. home

LANGLEY, B.C. – Mounties say a man who died Wednesday night had broken into to a Fraser Valley home and was being held by the homeowner and a neighbour when he lost consciousness.

Staff Sergeant Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the two men who were arrested have now been released from custody.

Pound says 51-year-old Clayton Marr was taken to hospital that night where he was pronounced dead.

She says evidence shows the owner of the home and the neighbour were holding Marr until police could arrive.

Pound says evidence found at the scene doesn’t support the approval of charges so the homeowner and neighbour were released.

An autopsy and toxicology testing was scheduled Friday to determine the cause of death.
