Winnipeg police are investigating a “suspicious death” in Point Douglas.
Police tape went up around an area on Maple Street and Higgins Avenue and forensics were on scene Wednesday morning.
Const. Jay Murray initially told Global News that the Winnipeg Police Service was conducting an investigation and to expect investigators to be there “for some time.” Police later confirmed it was an adult male who died and the homicide unit was investigating.
Police asked Winnipeggers to avoid the area while the investigation continued.
Police could be seen gathered around several items in the area, including a tent and a wagon.
