Officers say a man in his 20’s had been drinking heavily before collapsing on the sidewalk. A friend called EMS and he was taken to hospital in critical, life-threatening condition; he later died in hospital.

Police say he might have taken drugs as well, but are waiting for toxicology tests to confirm that.

So far the death is not considered suspicious.
