On March 29, 2011, at about 7:20am, RCMP Thompson Detachment members and local EMS were dispatched to a local elementary school in Thompson where they found an unresponsive male.

RCMP report that the male was found behind the school in a field area.

The individual, identified as a 49-year-old man of no fixed address, was conveyed to Thompson General Hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.

At present, the RCMP Thompson Major Crime Unit, the RCMP Thompson Forensic Identification Section and members of Thompson Detachment are investigating.

No children were in attendance at the school since it is spring break.

The death is treated as suspicious until ruled otherwise.
