ORIGINAL – 9:25 a.m.
Shortly before 8 a.m. this morning, SaultOnline was alerted to a heavy police presence in the city’s east end.
When we arrived, police could be seen investigating a death in the parking lot of a building in the 100 block of Breton Road*.
At this moment details are few, we have reached out to Sault Police Services from comment and are awaiting any information they can provide us.
A crime scene photographer, detective and patrol units are on scene conducting an investigation. A large section of the parking lot is taped off.
The coroner was also witnessed on scene.
Stay with SaultOnline as we update this situation when they are made available.
UPDATED 9:55 a.m. –
Sault Police Services Manager of Communications, Lincoln Louttit has confirmed a sudden death investigation has commenced and the investigation is continuing.
* the original post had Boston Ave. It has been corrected, SaultOnline apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.
A lot of assumptions here. Why not wait until there are facts and then comment. Just a thought.
NARCAN ® Nasal Spray is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose emergency with signs of breathing problems …the police helpers need to get out there and hand it out,,,they are not coming to pick it up…Bave these poor souls..
Why is it he job of the police?
Know this how
There is a memorial
People don’t just ” suddenly ” die.
To be fair it is the corner of breton and boston and the access to parking lot is on Boston so that is absolutely easily mistaken and we often say they are one or the other ourselves.
Also if they had jumped to any cause in any release unless it was a very very obvious reason, it would be taken wrong or people would be upset anyways so using that blanket term is probably the best way to go about things this early on.
COVID 🙁
There was a body found in parking lot on breton rd this morning are u sure u have the address right??????
Well seeing is all local website says Boston Ave, with no mention of Breton…are you sure you have the address right?
Another tragic COVID-19 death 😭
Classy Steve. Really classy. You should be proud of yourself. Your intelligence shines through.
Sounds like an overdose? Sad.
I think the only way the opioid crisis we are enduring is going to get the attention it needs, is if every time someone dies from an OD in the Soo they issue a press release. No need to name the person, just the fact it was an OD and age.
Maybe then people will wake up to the fact that we are losing a generation to this crisis.
And you know this how?
Tried to bore myself back to sleep in the wee morning hours last night, for some inexplicable reason I started scrolling through the obits, came across a number of these sudden deaths. People in their 20’s 30’s and 40’s, just in 2021 never made it to 2020, fell back to sleep.
“…on the East End”?
