A Fort Resolution man has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a 27-year-old man in the community, say RMCP.

Chad Beck, 30, faces a first-degree murder charge after Fort Resolution RCMP located the unresponsive 27-year-old late Sunday evening, a news release stated Tuesday.

The man was pronounced dead by a community medical practitioner.

NWT Mounties, along with the Major Crime Unit and Forensic Identification Unit, are working alongside the NWT Coroner Services to probe the man's death.

Beck was remanded into custody and will appear in territorial court on July 4.

Police say they won't be releasing additional information at this time.
