RCMP in Yellowknife say the death of a man found seriously injured at a home on the city’s 47 Street is “being investigated as a homicide.”
Residents reported police tape outside a Hilltop Apartments building on that street earlier on Sunday morning.
In a news release, police said they had been called to a residence just after 8am on Sunday after being told “a man on scene had been seriously injured.”
The man was taken to hospital, police said, and pronounced dead a short time later.
The territory’s major crimes unit and a forensics team are now leading the investigation.
