Yellowknife RCMP responded to an apartment in the 53 Street and 50 Avenue area around 2:30 a.m. on April 28. There, Mounties found the man deceased.
Paramedics, already at the scene, had tried to revive the man.
Preliminary evidence led police to deem the death suspicious in nature, according to a news release issued a day later.
RCMP spokesperson Julie Plourde said police are being “very careful with releasing any information,” related to the investigation.
In a follow up email sent Tuesday, Plourde said that’s being done to protect the integrity of the ongoing probe.
“An update will come once information is available to share with the public,” stated Plourde.
NWT RCMP Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation alongside the territory’s coroner.
