MONTREAL – A man died Sunday morning in hospital after a passerby found him lying on Sainte-Catherine Street East in downtown Montreal.
Police spokesperson Johany Charland says the man was discovered lying on the road near Fafard Street around 4:45 a.m. in critical condition.
Charland says the death is considered suspicious.
The causes and circumstances of the death are currently unknown.
