Greater Sudbury Police are reporting a sudden death in Memorial Park the morning hours of Saturday, Oct. 2.

At 9:24 a.m., GSPS received a call in relation to the sudden death of a 28-year-old male located in a tent in Memorial Park on Minto Street . The downtown Sudbury park has become a de facto encampment over the last several months, with makeshift shelters and tents set up throughout the area.

GSPS is working in collaboration with the Coroner’s Office to conduct a post mortem exam to determine a cause of death, but the death is not suspicious in nature and foul play is not suspected. The identity of the deceased will not be released at the wishes of the family.
