Police say man found dead in parked truck in Montreal alleyway

Montreal police say a man around the age of 30 was found dead in a truck parked in an alley east of downtown Saturday morning.

Police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc says authorities found the man after responding to a 7:50 a.m. 911 call about a non-responsive individual in the alley in the city’s Centre-Sud neighbourhood.

Dubuc says the man was dead when police arrived and officers did not attempt resuscitation.

She says the man’s body bore signs of violence.

Montreal police set up a perimeter around the area as officers try to determine the cause of his death.

Investigators with the department’s major crimes unit were expected on the scene Saturday morning.
