"On Jan. 26, 2022 at approximately 8:38 a.m., Airdrie RCMP responded to a complaint of an unresponsive male found along the pathway of Nose Creek, behind Willowbrook neighborhood," said Cpl. Gina Slaney of the Airdrie RCMP in a release.

At approximately 10 a.m., police were seen searching the area behind several homes in connection with the investigation, including questioning a number of homeowners. While the incident involves a death, RCMP say the public is safe.
