The RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit has been called in to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of an 81-year-old elder on the Mistawasis First Nation last night.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Brad Kaeding says Antoine Sand was outside of his residence on the reserve at around 11:30 last night, when other family members inside the home heard the man yelling.
Kaeding says when they looked outside, they saw him fall to the ground off the home’s front steps.
However, Kaeding notes the family members didn’t see any suspects near the home at the time.
Sand’s death has been ruled a homicide, but the Mounties are not releasing any more details on how he died.
Anyone with information on his death is urged to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers immediately.
