Edmonton police say the death of a 38-year-old man whose body was found near the Dawson Bridge last week is a homicide.

Just after 10 a.m. Thursday, Clifford Stamp’s body was found on some ice that was forming on the North Saskatchewan River.

His death was considered suspicious, but Edmonton police said Tuesday that an autopsy has confirmed the manner of his death is homicide. The cause of his death is not being released at this time for “investigative purposes,” according to police.

Investigators are now hoping to speak with anyone who may have been in the area and noticed anything suspicious between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Thursday. Anyone who may have surveillance or dashcam video from the area should also call police.
