They said the death is being treated as suspicious and that although an autopsy was completed Monday, it is still not clear how the man died.

On Wednesday, police said they believe two people “were present at the scene” and have yet to come forward to police.

“It’s important that we speak with these two key witnesses, a man and a woman, who we believe have information about what happened,” Staff Sgt. Colin Derksen, of the EPS Homicide Section, said in a statement.
