Would somebody who lives in Victoria or Vancouver be able to find an obituary for me?

I am trying to locate an obituary for SMITH Beverley Donald born 18 Feb 1931 died 7 Jul 1976. The cause of death was strangulation/homicide at his home, Garden City Way Richmond B.C. He was buried in Capilano View Cemetery West Vancouver with his parents.

I am curious if anything was ever found out about the homicide.

I have the complete death certificate. The death certificate says the cause of death was strangulation/homicide by persons unknown.

I live far away from the Vancouver Public Library so that is why I tried to find somebody who might be going to the library.
