Investigation into downtown fatality closed

The investigation into the sudden death of a Kenora man in late March has been effectively closed.

A spokeswoman for the Ontario Provincial Police said the exact cause of death has not been determined but foul play is not suspected.

Constable Heidi Britton said the investigation is completed and no charges are expected.

The body of the man was found in the morning of March 26 in his room in an apartment block on Matheson Street South.

Police have not released the dead man’s name.

There were rumors that the man had the victim of a beating but Britton says that wasn’t the case.

The OPP say an autopsy was performed but there was no cause of death determined.

Officials are still waiting results of toxicology tests.
