EPS Major Collision Section investigating pedestrian fatal

The Edmonton Police Service Major Collision Investigations Section is investigating the death of a male, whose body was found in the westbound lanes of Fox Drive early Saturday morning.

Southwest Division patrol members responded to the area near Fort Edmonton Park at approximately 1:45 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014, after receiving a 911 call from a motorist who came upon the body of a deceased male believed to be in his mid-20s.



Witnesses told police that several vehicles drove by what appeared to be an “object” in the middle of the road, before an oncoming vehicle appeared to strike the male, dragging his body a short distance down Fox Drive. Investigators have yet to determine whether the male died on scene or was dropped off there.



The Medical Examiner’s Office has scheduled an autopsy to determine identity of the deceased and cause of death, at 1 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15, 2014.
