HAMILTON – Hamilton police say the death of a 54-year-old man found on a sidewalk earlier this week is now being treated as suspicious after investigators reviewed new information.
Police say that information raised concerns about the man’s death, but they did not elaborate further.
The death has not been labelled a homicide at this point, but police say the homicide unit is taking over the investigation.
Police say the man was found unresponsive on a sidewalk Monday evening in the city’s Waterdown neighbourhood.
Investigators reviewed the autopsy results and video footage before labelling his death as suspicious.
Police say detectives are appealing for any witnesses who were in the area of Dundas Street East between Spring Creek Drive and 1st Street from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
