Police continue to investigate the sudden death of a man in a Rosemont home being used as a drug lab.
The BC Coroners Service has identified him as Andrew John Meisner, 33. The Star has learned he lived alone in the split-level, three-bedroom home with two pit bulls since last March. He told his landlords he had a contracting business.
Friends who had been unable to reach him found him dead in his home Friday. He's believed to have died the previous day but it's not clear how. Foul play has now been ruled out. Police responded to the call at about 8:30 p.m. along with paramedics.

Meisner's parents are believed to be en route from New Brunswick. His father Gord is a former RCMP officer.
Meisner graduated from L.V. Rogers in 1997. His older brother Geoff went missing from West Kelowna in 2009. In an affidavit filed in court to have him declared dead, his wife said Geoff was a drug dealer with ties to the Hells Angels. Geoff formerly lived in Nelson and sold vitamin supplements.

Nelson police Sgt. Janet Scott-Pryke said in a news release that based on initial observations of the home — a duplex at the corner of Robertson and West Innes — they suspected a drug lab was present.

After consulting the RCMP and Nelson Fire Department, they determined there was likely no immediate danger to the public, but "in order to preserve the integrity" of the investigation, residents of the other unit in the duplex were asked to leave. The occupants of a house behind the duplex were also briefly evacuated, but have since returned home.

The RCMP's clandestine lab team from Surrey was called out and arrived at 6 p.m. Saturday to begin the investigation along with members of the Nelson Police Department, Nelson Fire Department, BC Ambulance, and the RCMP's forensic identification and road safety units.

"There was a clandestine lab in operation in the home that appears to have been manufacturing prescription and/or restricted drugs," Scott-Pryke said in the statement. "No dangerous or noxious chemicals were located or recovered."

The preliminary investigation has been completed, she said, but police are providing only limited information "so as not to compromise the coroner's and/or the police and fire investigations."

Police chief Wayne Holland added in an email to the Star that "there is absolutely nothing for the residents of that neighborhood, or the citizens of Nelson in general, to be concerned about as regards their health or their personal safety" as a result of the incident.

Meisner's landlord told the Star he was a good tenant who paid his rent early. They haven't been allowed into the home yet to assess the damage. His dogs are believed to have been taken to a local boarding kennel.

I don't remember hearing that when Geoff Meisner was declared dead. I guess that confirms what most people suspected.

Yup, another tragedy for the Meisner family....
These people should have went to school and took up a different line of work, possibly something safer.
I will never understand those who choose a life that ends up burdening the family, maybe just greed, who knows.

Also, It really makes me question whether it was a parenting issue, or just a couple of rebels.

This is obviously a difficult time for the whole family and friends. I hope people have enough thought to not drag them through any more pain.

Really. Can we not try just a little harder?

The money must be amazing in order to make it worth living a life where you are constantly looking over your shoulder.

I think the tough guy, tattooed steroid gangster lifestyle is very appealing to some of these guys.

And they believe the criminal organizations that they are associated with give a damn whether they live or die.

Once you get in so deep and know so much it's just easier to kill a liability than to pay them.

My condolences to the parents. They must be devastated.
