Traffic is once again flowing along Highway 97 after police gathering evidence investigating a death in downtown Quesnel appear to have finished.
Yellow police tape which prevented people from getting too close to the scene on Front Street has been taken down. A tent covering what appeared to be a pile of clothes has also been taken away, along with the clothes.
