The RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation into the body of a man found on a rural property northwest of Edmonton.
A local resident discovered the remains outdoors on a rural property near Township Road 540 and Rural Route 263 and reported it to police around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Morinville RCMP secured the scene and helped recover the body.
An autopsy Wednesday determined the man’s death was a homicide, but investigators have not said how the man died.
The identity of the man has yet to be determined.
