The body was found in an industrial area in rural Strathcona County on September 13 around 5 a.m.
Police launched a death investigation and conducted an autopsy, but said further examinations by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are needed.
Authorities have not yet been able to identify the body. Instead, they’ve released a composite sketch of the deceased and are asking the for the public’s help in identifying him. The man is described as
- a black male,

Police have also identified and contacted the registered owner of a white cube van that is believed to be connected to the investigation. However, RCMP would like the public to share if they saw the van in their neighbourhoods or travels between September 11 and 13.
The van’s body and trailer are white and feature a side decal that reads “A.D & Sons” in blue and “Moving & Cleaning Service” in black.
