Calgary homicide unit investigate body found in Fish Creek Park

CALGARY -- Calgary police's homicide unit has been called in to investigate after a body was found early Sunday morning in Fish Creek Park.

Emergency crews were called to an area near the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant in southeast Calgary at around 7:30 a.m. Police say the initial report indicated there was a person engulfed in flames.

An autopsy will take place next week to determine the victim's identity and manner of death.

On Sunday morning, police had the area cordoned off to conduct their investigation. The Calgary Fire Department's arson investigator vehicle was also spotted at the scene.

This is the second suspicious death in Calgary Sunday. Earlier that morning, police were called to 11th Avenue and First Street S.E. for reports of a man in medical distress. He was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to contact the police or Crime Stoppers.
