Sep 10, 2022 | 10:27 PM

The RCMP Major Crimes Unit and Maskwacis RCMP say they are investigating after a body was found on the Samson Cree Nation on Friday.

It was just after 7 a.m. on Sept. 9 when Maskwacis RCMP say they were notified that a body had been discovered in a ditch along a rural road on the Samson Cree Nation.

Initial investigation deemed the death as suspicious, thus Major Crimes is now investigating.

The deceased’s identity won’t be released at this time, and an autopsy is scheduled for Sept. 13 in Edmonton.
