Police spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in an email GSPS doesn't usually release the name or photo of homicide victims, but due to the request for public assitance and the permission from the man's next of kin, detectives determined it would help them gather new information related to the investigation.
"Since the time Rohan’s body was discovered, detectives have been following up on information, interviewing witnesses and processing evidence obtained from the scene, however, they have yet to be able to identify the individual(s) responsible for his murder," Dunn said.
"We believe that there are individuals who may have information related to this homicide investigation that have yet to come forward."
Anyone with information is asked to call the dedicated tipline that has been set up for the investigation at 705-675-9171 extension 2320. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 705-222-8477.
