The Moose Jaw Police Service is working with the Saskatchewan Coroners Office to determine the cause of death of a man found unresponsive in Crescent Park.
Police and EMS were called to an alley near Crescent Park on March 14 around 8:30 a.m. about a man, 23, who lay unresponsive in the snow. Upon arrival, emergency services personnel found that the man had been dead for several hours — or longer.
The police service has notified the family about the deceased man and continues to determine the events and timing about where he was found. Police investigations have revealed that, in the days before his death, the man possessed some personal items that were not found at the scene.
These items include a red and grey backpack with toiletries, black and white Vans high-top shoes, blue sweatpants and a black winter jacket.
Police are asking for the public’s help in recovering the items that the deceased man may have discarded before his death. If residents live or work in the downtown area and notice any of these items, they may belong to the deceased male and could help officers with their investigation.
The police service does not suspect foul play but continues to investigate with the coroner’s office to determine the cause of death.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police at 306-694-7600 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
