RCMP are investigating a sudden highway death

A portion of Highway 754 is expected to be closed for “some time” as RCMP investigate a sudden death, according to police.

The incident happened on the Wabasca First Nation northeast of Slave Lake.

“RCMP reconstruction specialist will be in attendance and this section of highway is expected to be impassable for some time,” Desmarais RCMP said in a news release.

Police have not said if the death is being treated as suspicious at this time and are asking people to avoid the area.
