Swan River RCMP are conducting an investigation into a deceased male that was discovered early on the morning of December 31, 2009.
Initially, Manitoba Hydro and The Swan Valley Fire Department were responding to a hydro transformer explosion near The Birchwood Cemetery when they discovered a deceased male on a roadway in the cemetery property.
The deceased, a 25-year-old male from Bowsman, Manitoba, was not clothed according to weather conditions which were -26 degrees Celsius, with a wind chill of -36 at the time.
The report of transformer problems are not related to this sudden death investigation. The police investigation continues in concert with the Medical Examiner’s Office and an autopsy will be held in Brandon, Manitoba on January 4, 2010.
Police do not suspect foul play at this time.
