Investigators from the  province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) were called to Greater Sudbury following the sudden death of a 37-year-old local man.

The man, identified by Greater Sudbury Police only as a male, aged 37, was pronounced dead at hospital in Sudbury shortly after being removed from a home located at 1378 Bellevue Ave. in the early morning hours Saturday.

An SIU news release says police received a phone call just before midnight Saturday to help paramedics deal with an "aggressive patient".

The patient "became non-responsive" and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead 30 minutes later.

Investigators from the SIU were called around 2:37 am Saturday, says the news release.

A total of six investigators from the SIU were on the scene throughout the remainder of the weekend.

Anyone who may have information about this incident is asked to contact the SIU at 1-416-622-1988 or 1-800-787-8529.

The director of the SIU will make the decision on whether or not further action is warranted based on the pending investigation.
