Senior’s death probed as homicide

The death of a 72-year-old man outside the Lynn Lake RCMP detachment Sunday morning is being investigated as a homicide.

At 7:30 a.m., a cell guard at the detachment found the senior on the ground outside the building with serious injures, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release Monday.

Officers provided medical care, but the man died on scene.

RCMP said it is believed the man managed to make his way to the detachment after being assaulted at his home.

Lynn Lake is located more than 1,000 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
