RCMP asking for help in suspicious death investigation

Police east of Edmonton are asking for help from the public, as they investigate the death of a man early Tuesday morning.

Officers were called just before 1 a.m. Tuesday to the industrial area on the west side of Sherwood Park, where the body of a man was found.

A burned-out Jeep was also found in the area – but RCMP had few details on the vehicle.

Investigators are asking for help in reporting any activity in the area of 34 Street between 92 Avenue and 84 Avenue in Sherwood Park, between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. overnight.

An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday.

At last word, the area on 34 Street remained closed due to the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Strathcona County RCMP at 780-467-7741, or submit an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers on 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
