Coquitlam Mounties were kept busy on the first Family Day long weekend dealing with a pair of investigations.

Police were called to the Port Coquitlam rail yard just after midnight Sunday morning after a worker discovered a body.

The body of a man was found next to the tracks about 200 metres east of the West Coast Express station.

Police and the BC Coroners Service are investigating, but foul play is not suspected.

The name of the man was not released.

The RCMP were also called to a stabbing in PoCo at an apartment on Coquitlam Avenue around 10 p.m. that night.

A man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after reportedly being stabbed in the back.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung wouldn't say what sparked the incident or if anyone involved was known to police.

"At this point we're investigating, so there may be charges in the future, but at this time we're still just looking into the matter," he said.

The victim was later released from the hospital.
