EDMONTON – A 42-year-old man died in hospital Sunday from the injuries he suffered in a vicious attack at the Moose Creek Hotel in Edson.
Early in the morning on Nov. 11, Edson RCMP responded to a report of an assault at the hotel.
When officers arrived, EMS personnel were already treating the man. RCMP said Preston William Goulet, a resident of Edson, was “the victim of a vicious assault.”
On Nov. 11, police arrested and charged 37-year-old Christopher Ronald Edward Harrison with aggravated assault.
Harrison, also a resident of Edson, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Dec. 15.
Officers continue to investigate the incident and are waiting for an autopsy.
RCMP said nothing in the investigation so far points to this being a hate crime.
Edson is approximately 200 kilometres west of Edmonton.
