On May 27, at approximately 8:30 p.m., police were called to a home in the 100 block of Confederation Place for a report of an injured man. When they arrived, they found an injured man.
A 76-year-old man told SASKTODAY.ca Sunday morning that when he was walking his dog late Saturday evening he saw someone lying on the lawn and several police officers were there. He said that he has lived in the neighbourhood for 50 years and has never seen a suspicious death in the area, adding that there's lots of break and enters and petty crime.
"This doesn't help if you want to sell your house," he said.
