A man “in medical distress” died at the scene after Edmonton police responded to a call about a robbery early Monday in the Forest Heights neighbourhood, just east of central Edmonton.
Edmonton Police are investigating the case as a suspicious death and the homicide section has taken over.
In a news release, police said officers arrived at a home near 76 Street and 105 Avenue at about 5 a.m. “following the reports of a robbery.”
They found an injured man. EPS said police and paramedics tried to save his life but he died from his injuries.
Police would not say how the man was connected — if he was the alleged robber or the homeowner.
