Murder on Manitoba?

and not the "usual" area of Manitoba

Manitoba and Huber... just south of the Tyndall Park school/community centre.,

Anyone know anything about this? Appears to have just happened this morning around 8aM

LOL... according to CJOB... Tyndall Park is now a part of the north end

Winnipeg Police have closed a north end street this hour.

Officers were called to attend the area of the 1900 block of Manitoba Avenue at 730 this morning. As a result Manitoba Avenue will be closed between Huber Street and Featherstone Way until further notice.

Police will only confirm it is regarding a suspicious circumstance.

There is no additional information available at this time.

Motorists are requested to avoid the area.

Winnipeg police have closed a portion of a Tyndall Park street after a body was found on a sidewalk in the 1900 block of Manitoba Avenue.
Const. Jason Michalyshen said police were called to the area at about 7:30 a.m. after receiving a call of a body on the sidewalk.
Const. Michalyshen confirmed a person has died, but did not say if it is a man or a woman. “We’re trying to determine what took place,” he said.
A body can be seen on the sidewalk underneath a sheet.
Manitoba Avenue has been closed between Huber Street and Featherstone Way, an area between King Edward and Keewatin streets. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
Neighbours said police have been going door-to-door asking residents if they heard anything suspicious, but the residents said there was nothing out of the ordinary in the neighbourhood this morning.
Neighbours said police told them the body was of an older man who might have slipped on the slippery sidewalk.

so maybe not murder

Could have been a drowning!

That is not very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

the best part? Winnipegsun had the exact same article up but instead said..

heh it seems perhaps northender has indeed drilled it into the heads of teh papers.

Drowned in a pothole?

not suspicious say police.. he was an older person who lived in the area and had health problems.

Major health problems by the looks of it.

CJOB should issue an immediate retraction. Now that this has been determined not to be a murder, or suspicious, they can retract the "north end" reference. Had it been a murder, I guess they could have stuck with it.
