A 29-year-old man was found unconscious after falling from a terrace on Sainte-Catherine Street near Alexandre-DeSève Street.
According to Montreal police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils, the incident is not of a criminal nature.

The man fell from a fourth-floor balcony and was transported to hospital in critical condition.
Police say the 29-year-old man had been at the patio of the bar and tried to climb an adjacent building’s fire escape to get to the roof.
The incident took place at a popular bar in the Gay Village in the city’s downtown area.
“The victim is a tourist from the United States, from California,” Chevrefils said.
It took place as Canada Pride wrapped up its events – the first edition of a nationwide celebration of Canada’s LGBT movement held this year in Montreal.
