Paramedics worked on Gill in the garage for about 40 minutes but were unable to save him, police said.

Gill is listed as director of Sumas Valley Berry Farm Ltd in Abbotsford. He was a partner with Davinder Singh Deol and his wife in the berry farm.

He was a nice guy who kept to himself, cut his own lawn and played with his kids, the neighbour said.
