Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating the suspicious death of an Edmonton man in October.

The 46-year-old, who has not been publicly named, died on Oct. 20 at the corner of 96 Street and 105 Avenue despite receiving emergency medical treatment from professionals.

An autopsy completed on Oct. 22 did not reveal the cause of death.

"While we await additional information from the medical examiner, the circumstances surrounding this death now lead us to believe it is suspicious," Staff Sgt. Andrew Larson from the homicide section said in a Friday news release.

EPS asked anyone with information to contact investigators by calling 780-423-4567 or press #377 on a mobile phone.

Anonymous information can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online using the P3 Tips tool.
