A 32-year-old man was found deceased inside a tent that was part of an encampment set up across the street from Greater Sudbury Police Service headquarters.

"A cause of death has not yet been determined however as we continue to investigate in collaboration with the coroner’s office, the death has been deemed not suspicious in nature and foul play is not suspected," Kaelas said.
