The Saskatoon Police Service say they expect to be at the scene of a suspicious death for the next few hours after a body was discovered earlier Wednesday afternoon in an alley adjacent to 20th Street near Avenue C.

A passerby discovered the body, with officers called to the area just before 1:30 p.m. Members of the Saskatoon Police Service Patrol, Forensic identification Section and the Major Crime Section are investigating with very few details at this point.

Police are treating the death as suspicious with more information to be released when available.
