UPDATE: Missing Saskatchewan man found dead outside of Calgary
Calgary police and RCMP officers are investigating after a body was found in a rural area outside of the city on Tuesday.
According to police, the body was discovered north of Airdrie, but the Calgary Police Service is involved in the investigation because of the close proximity to the city.
Calgary police said a search of Elliston Park on Tuesday is related to the grisly discovery.

One woman who lives near the park told Global News there were police cars with their lights flashing blocking traffic in the area.
“It’s very unnerving how — with all the crime around and being so close to home,” Shelley said. “You don’t know where you’re safe anymore.”
The identity of the person will be determined through an autopsy, police said.
