A man who was taken into custody for questioning regarding the incident has since been released, the CPS said.

Police said on Wednesday the death is not connected to a shooting in Falconridge on Monday or a homicide in upper Mount Royal on Sunday.

“We do not believe this incident is related to the other recent deaths within the last few days, which are also currently under investigation,”  Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson said.

Police said  the recent deaths are a priority for them but other resources across the service have been impacted with additional tasks, including collecting evidence, speaking to witnesses and conducting interviews.
