Paramedics were also called to the scene, and the 44-year-old man was rushed to hospital.
“He was transported to hospital,” Inspector Lee Foreman said Monday. “Unfortunately, [he was] declared deceased, we then entered into a criminal investigation, with respect to the suspicious nature of that death.”
On Monday, police told CTV News the death was considered suspicious.
An autopsy was conducted on Monday, where the Medical Examiner found Bartlett Russell Silverthorn, 44, of Camrose, succumbed to injuries he suffered during a fight – no weapons were involved.
