Death of 67-year-old South Dundas man suspicious, say OPP

Ontario Provincial Police are investigating the suspicious death of a 67-year-old South Dundas man.

Around 10:40 p.m., officers with the Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry detachment were called to a home on Chess Road near the town of Iroquois.

Edward Robert Allen was found dead in his home, said OPP spokesperson Cst. Joel Doiron.

"The death is suspicious at this point and further investigation is needed to be able to determine the details surrounding it," he said.

Doiron said he couldn't say more about why the death is considered suspicious, who called police or who else may have been living at the home because the investigation is ongoing and in its early stages.

No arrests have been made, said Doiron, and there are no suspects.

"It is still a fresh and preliminary investigation. The officers that are assigned to it are still gathering [information] and I'm sure more details will develop as we go on," he said.

A post-mortem examination is scheduled for Monday at the Ottawa Hospital.

Iroquois is about 100 kilometres south of Ottawa.
