Const. Étienne Doyon says evidence suggests the man’s fall was an accident and adds investigators have ruled out criminal conduct.

He says it’s unclear whether the man died as a result of the fall or from exposure to the cold.

Overnight temperatures were at minus -30 C, according Environment Canada.

The residence is located in Quebec City’s Sainte-Foy district.
