The Saskatchewan Coroners Service has ordered an autopsy as part of its investigation into the death of Allan Landrie.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority says the body of the 72-year-old man was found in a publicly accessible area on the main floor of Royal University Hospital Tuesday night.

Saskatoon police say he was last seen walking into the facility at about 1:30 Saturday afternoon.

Police say a thorough search of R-U-H and the surrounding area was conducted by officers, search and rescue staff and hospital security after Landrie was reported missing and do not consider his death suspicious.

The Saskatchewan Health Ministry declined comment deferring to the health authority.

The S-H-A has expressed condolences to the Landrie family but has declined further comment.
