A 30-year-old man is dead after an assault last month, and Saskatoon police are now investigating his death as a homicide.
Officers were called to a home on Chandler Place, near the Confederation Mall in west Saskatoon, at about 4 a.m. on April 15, police said in an April 16 news release.
They found the man unresponsive and with life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to hospital.
Witnesses told police that there had been an altercation outside another home on the same block, according to the April news release.
