"Bella" was the possible name of a woman found deceased in the Burrard Inlet near the foot of Lonsdale.

Case

At 10:45 A.M., Bella was spotted by a crane operator at the Burrard Drydock. She was roughly 200 feet from the wharf at Versatile Pacific Shipyards.

Bella was buried in Vancouver's Mountain View Cemetery. On August 20, 2008, her remains were exhumed to obtain DNA samples.
