The 38-year-old man sustained life-threatening head injuries. He was taken to hospital, where he died three days later.
The medical examiner confirmed the man died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.
The death marks Edmonton’s 28th homicide of the year.
However, EPS Homicide investigators will not be laying any charges in the man’s death. After consultation with the Crown, the death has been “determined to be non-culpable.”
Edmonton police did not release the victim’s name.
Editor’s note: Edmonton police initially said the second man was 19 years old. That age was later corrected to 26.
