An autopsy has been scheduled following Saturday morning’s discovery of a body inside a makeshift shelter in a popular northwest park.

Members of the Calgary Police Service homicide unit responded to a location within Nose Hill Park early Saturday afternoon after a citizen made the grisly discovery during a walk in a treed area near the southern edge of the park.

Police believe the man’s death is not of a criminal nature and an autopsy will be conducted by the Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday.

The identity of the deceased and the nature of his death have not been disclosed.
