Red Deer RCMP say public not at risk after body found in city park

Red Deer RCMP say the death of a man whose body was found at a city park on Thursday morning does not appear to be suspicious.

Police were called after a deceased male was found on an embankment of Coronation Park at around 8:25 a.m.

RCMP contained a portion of the park after a resident reported the dead body on Thursday morning. Police had cleared the scene by early Thursday afternoon.

The man’s death is not believed to be suspicious and there is no risk to the public, RCMP said in a media release.

An autopsy is expected to be done in Calgary, but a date has not yet been set.

RCMP said no further information will be released.
